Greene worked in TheGreatDepression as a writer of thrillers (''A Gun for Sale, Stamboul Train'') and essayist. He worked as a film critic during this time, and earned fame for his acerbic wit and criticism. His favorite film-maker was Creator/FritzLang and he was one of many English critics who missed the boat on identifying Creator/AlfredHitchcock's early genius. One piece of his criticism, a 1937 review of ''Film/WeeWillieWinkie'' published in the journal ''Night and Day'', [[http://thecharnelhouse.org/2014/02/25/graham-greenes-infamous-review-of-wee-willie-winkie-1937-starring-shirley-temple/ earned Greene some notoriety]] for calling attention to the sexualisation of child star Creator/ShirleyTemple. It was so controversial that the studios sued the journal, Greene hid away in Mexico, and the journal shut down. While in Mexico, Greene started research on ''The Power and the Glory'' (his first ''literary'' novel). Greene became a constant traveler in his later years, visiting far away nations and writing about them in his works. His use of locations earned the name "Greeneland". His travels also attracted him to real-life spy work with [=MI6=]. One of his handlers was none other than infamous turncoat Kim Philby.

Greene's works were popular enough that it led to a series of film adaptations. Most of them were disliked by Greene. He is best known for his collaborations with Carol Reed, especially, ''Film/TheThirdMan''. Greene's work remained popular and he remained a highly prolific author. His works were influential on later writers and his particular style, featuring bleak, misanthropic AntiHero, complicated moral questions and vivid background detail makes him a highly popular author to this day.
In 1973 he had an uncredited cameo as a British insurance company representative in the movie ''Film/DayForNight''. He had told a friend how he had always wanted to meet director Creator/FrancoisTruffaut, as he was a huge fan of his films, so it was arranged for him to have a small part in the film. Truffaut was disappointed when he found out about Greene's appearance only after Greene had left, because he had been a huge fan of Greene's writing!
