Every three years or so I re-watch The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. Last summer I read le Carre's Absolute Friends and was blown away after having very mediorce reactions to a couple other books I had read of his. TSWCIFTC is probably one of the best thrillers I have ever seen. Burton is brilliant. Martin Ritt is no idealist and watching it you realize how crude the 007 series is in its sexy cold warriorism. Strong recommendation for the film about the Cold War in Europe.
