Synopsis Forget James Bond...and step into the real, dour and chilling world of spies and counterspies. Oscar nominee Richard Burton is the burnt-out British agent who refuses to "come in from the cold" to take a desk job-but instead launches into the most dangerous assignment of his career, stalking East German agent (and Golden Globe winner) Oskar Werner. John Le Carre's best-selling novel provides the basis for this breathtaking thriller of espionage, intrigue, crosses, and double crosses. First-rate performances from the entire cast are matched by a tension-packed and brilliantly plotted screenplay, with masterful direction from Martin Ritt (Hud, Sounder).

Customer Review A nihilistic Cold War opus - 3.5 out of 5  (9/7/2004) This is a gritty and realistic depiction of what the spy business is really about. There are no heroes, no villains; just ordinary people caught up in the meaninglessness of Cold War intrigue. Richard Burton plays a weary, down-on-his-luck former spy who takes one last mission behind the Iron Curtain. Unbeknownst to him, he is just a pawn in a much larger and more convoluted scheme. The script and the performances are first-rate, but be forewarned. This movie does NOT have a happy ending   more >>
