The Deadly Affair (1966)

John le Carré: Screen Adaptations (12 movies items)

"Double agents, double crosses, murder - all wrapped up in a gritty and realistic story. Not the best adaptation and the acting feels a little too calculated at times, but the power of the story still carries it through."

Movie Diary: 2012 (68 movies items)

"Jan 20 @ Download (First Viewing) Another movie based on a John Le Carre book, the third this month and the weakest of the lot. I'm not sure if it's the source material or the adaptation that lets it down, not having read the book. It's not consistently gripping and I could see the "twist" one third of the way into the movie. The acting is still pretty good and it makes for a decent detective story, despite it's shortcomings."
