I've never read any of Le Carre's books, but saw a couple of films based on his books. The Little Drummer Girl was a pretty good film, so I'd like to read that book.
- nickcw 11y agoI really enjoyed The Little Drummer Girl - that is my favourite Le Carre book of the ones I've read. I didn't know it had been made into a film - I'll have to look out for that, thanks!
- chr15p 11y agoIf you've not seen "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" the film is well worth it, although if you can get hold of the BBC TV series of that and "Smiley's People" . To me Alec Guinness just is George Smiley, far more then he is Ben Kenobi. Plus as a bonus the books were still excellent reading even after knowing what happens.
- Brakenshire 11y agoThe Alec Guinness "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" is absolutely superb.

- huxley 11y agoAgreed about the book and miniseries, but for me the problem with the film is that the book "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" is one of the great character-driven spy thrillers, so while the film on its own is not a bad film, it dumped vast sections of character development to get down to 127 minutes.
