La película arranca con el supuesto suicidio de un funcionario británico, al que Charles Dobbs estaba investigando como posible espía comunista. En el Foreing Office quieren archivar el caso con esa versión, en que el hombre se habría quitado la vida al verse descubierto. Pero Dobbs va a seguir tirando por su cuenta del hilo de un par de pistas, con sorprendentes resultados. (Filmin)

Le Carré can be adapted in various ways, but by no means theatrically, let alone melodramatically on a relational level and in a too talkative way. Which unfortunately is exactly what Lumet did. The simple fact that the original is le Carré's first book (and the first book in the series about Smiley), which has essentially the same storyline (just less sophisticated and in all respects significantly worse) than his later most famous masterpiece, so it does not much improve the final impression. Another thing that is hard to understand is why he did not use the same names as the original.

James Mason proves how great of an actor he was and the thriller genre suits him well, which I didn't expect at all. But he has something in him where he works as a positive character, yet there is always something slightly dark about him. The film has an excellent atmosphere, which saves even the somewhat boring and dragged out scenes at times.
