Oscar nominee Richard Burton is a 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 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.

Very atmospheric cold war spy thriller made most atmospheric by the choice for it to be shot in black and white. The cinematography is excellent therefore. The plot is much as you expect from Le Carre and if you like his work then you will like this film. As expected a good performance from Burton in the role of the disgruntled spy.
