(NR) UK – 1 hr 52 min
1965 · d. Martin Ritt
Starring Richard Burton, Oskar Werner, Claire Bloom
Sent deep undercover to turn a rival agent, a burnt-out British spy (Richard Burton) makes an error that could compromise his mission—he falls in love. Adapted from John le Carré’s novel (and featuring the author’s most famous creation, George Smiley), this ruthlessly suspenseful Cold War thriller offers a gritty retort to the James Bond vision of espionage.
This screening will be presented in conjunction with a Cinema Classics Seminar, taught by Andrew Owen, Ph.D.
Seating for screening-only attendees will begin at 7:00 pm. Just want to see the film? Purchase your tickets from this page.
