Richard Burton stars as Alec Leamas, who was indeed, the spy who came in from the cold...
Shot in beautiful black and white, this is a thinking man's version of the James Bond films.
Spare, harsh, and honest. Full of crosses, double crosses, and triple crosses, it shines a light on the shadowy intelligence world of the Cold War. Based on the John Le Carre novel, I sought this out particularly since having seen the film version of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy recently in Venice.
Highly recommended if you like this genre...
