Though Graham Greene never disclosed whom the character of Holly Martins was based upon, Criterion's latest released version contains Philip Kerr's insight into it, (very) possibly being based upon Robert Bruckner, who was this film's producer/screenwriter, against whom Greene 'nursed a grievance'. Among the (many) reasons cited by Kerr is Holly Martins 'being an author of low-brow western novels, including one entitled Oklahoma Kid, (which viewers will notice Baron Kurtz carrying a copy of Oklahoma Kid, by Holly Martins). Bruckner was a screenwriter, whose work included many westerns, among them, The Oklahoma Kid.
