The first film of Timothy West.
Body count 6.
The ending of this film - somewhat different from that of John Le Carre's original 1961 novel - has Charles Dobbs discovering that the close friend who has been having an affair with his wife is in fact an enemy agent who has cynically initiated the affair as a way of keeping a surreptitious watch on Dobbs's activities. This is very similar to the ending of Le Carre's more famous novel, "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy", which was not published until six years after the appearance of this film.
