SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD

Details

• Release Year: 1965
• Genre: Drama; Suspense/Thriller
• Plot: John Le Carré's acclaimed bestselling novel, about a Cold War spy on one final, dangerous mission, is every bit as precise and ruthless onscreen in this adaptation directed by Martin Ritt. Richard Burton delivers one of his career-defining performances as Alec Leamas, whose hesitant but deeply felt relationship with a beautiful librarian (Claire Bloom) puts what he hopes will be his last assignment, in East Germany, in jeopardy. The Spy Who Came In From The Cold is a hard-edged and finally tragic thriller, suffused with the political and social consciousness that defined Ritt's career.; ;
