      Audience Reviews for The Deadly Affair

      • Jun 19, 2015

        Good meditative spy movie full of 60's atmosphere. A low key gem.

        Another why-haven't-I-heard-of-this Lumet film. A solid spy thriller, doesn't break to much ground but once again shows that Lumet can tell a great story. After this and the Hill, Harry Andrews is becoming a new favorite actor. Oh yeah, a fantastic 60's jazz score by Quincy Jones.
