Outstanding spy thriller spotlights Burton in one of his finest performances, matched by an impeccably chosen supporting cast who are all equally wonderful. The cinematography is also star in of itself; beautiful photography and imagery elevate the potentially bleak and sordid material into tragic melancholy; a beautiful sadness to be sure.

A clever and often surprising spy story that constantly kept me glued to the screen. Killer ending too.

An underrated gem. Excellent acting around the board, some excellent cinematography. There's some slow moments, but it's an amazing piece of drama overall. I can't believe this isn't on the TSPDT list.

A highly recommended spy movie with a convoluted but entirely believable plot, great directing from the underrated Martin Ritt, and a great cast headed by the exquisite Richard Burton.

Richard Burton and his cold war pals never got me fully convinced in this noir meets ooh-the-bloody-politicians-don't-care-about-me-so-i'll-start-drinking story where the backstabbings are piled on top of each other like broilers in factory farm cages.

A film that works primarily because of its excellent atmosphere and great performances, because even though the plot left me a bit lost for a while, I was still able to get a lot of enjoyment out of this. Definitely one to watch again. And again.
