A past its prime British intelligence agency lead by Ralph Richardson persuade a Polish defector (Jones) to validate photographs of a missile in East Germany.
Fairly slow moving Le Carre adaptation. The agency of yesteryear spies are enjoyable for those expecting a Tinker, Taylor style thriller and engagingly played by Richardson, Hopkins, Urqhurt etc. The film is less effective when Jones is on screen. All very James Dean / rebel without a cause type performance is solid but misplaced here.
