This adaptation of the classic John le Carré novel offers a bracing dose of post-war British seediness and double-dealing, with the great Richard Burton battling shady operators on both sides of the Iron Curtain (with the help of a startling amount of booze).
The Spy Who Came in From the Cold plunges us into the story of Alec Leamas, a washed-up spook back in London after a harrowing stint at the coalface of the Cold War in West Berlin. Leamas seems intent on ending his days staring at the bottom of a whisky glass, but as ever with le Carré, all is not as it first seems...
A gloriously cynical portrait of the espionage game, The Spy Who Came in From the Cold is the perfect hard-bitten antidote to the festive season.
