The acclaimed, best-selling novel by John le Carré, about a Cold War spy on one final dangerous mission in East Germany, is transmuted by director Martin Ritt (HUD, NORMA RAE) into a film every bit as precise and ruthless as the book.
Academy Award-nominated Richard Burton (WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF, BECKET,1984) is superb as Alec Leamas, whose relationship with the beautiful librarian Nan, played by Claire Bloom (HAMLET, A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE), puts his assignment in jeopardy.
Winner of 4 BAFTA Awards (including Best British Film) THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD is a hard-edged and tragic thriller, suffused with the political and social consciousness that defined Ritt’s career. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present the film on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK.
