Mark B 6d Overlooked Le Carre story. Well told. Perfect cast. Brisk pace. James Mason is spot on. The chaos of the story feels real. See more Ian S Jun 8 Pretty good spy thriller. Well acted by Mason, Kinnear, Andrews, Schell and Signoret. See more ruth b 04/08/2024 Viewed through the lens of modern movies this would disappoint. But as a 60s British spy movie it is a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours. A London I remember. Like many reviewers, the only jarring point is the relationship with Ann who is an unbelievable and rather pathetic character. See more Karen R 03/19/2024 Very good pace, lead actors very good... wanted to know about the policeman at the end and couldn't actually fathom the reason main actor had so much tenderness for the faithless wife. See more sara T 02/20/2023 Almost brilliant. Downbeat Le Carré spy film but watch it for the brilliant turns by the Redgrave siblings, Harry Andrews (napping and tending his menagerie), Roy Kinnear (with his two wives) and David Warner (as an RSC actor). Timothy West's first film too. Their levity contrasts with ‘Smiley's' dour grimy London, made even stranger by the noticeable tones of Astrid Gilberto throughout. Lots of parallels with Tinker Tailor, which it precedes by four years. My only criticism is wife Anne - not because she's a shameless hussy but because she's so vacuous. See more isla s 09/04/2022 This is a character driven drama. The plot slowly unwinds and it's not particularly action packed (it having a pretty humdrum setting) but there again it's perhaps more credible. Elsa Fennan, the main female character and somewhat of a suspect, I thought slightly reminded me of Elsa Klebb from the James Bond films (no offence intended!). The mystery aspect of this film I quite enjoyed but it's not a film likely to stay in my mind for long. Its ok but not great and I wouldn't especially recommend it as such I suppose, no.
