If 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" .

If 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.
