Synopsis:
"In this TV miniseries, author John Le Carré's wily spy George Smiley (Alec Guinness) is pulled out of retirement for a case that comes from officials close to the British prime minister. Seems a senior-ranking official from Smiley's old agency is a Russian spy, and it's up to Smiley to smoke him out ... all without access to circus files that could aid in the capture. One of the best TV adaptations of Le Carré's mysteries."

"Much better than 2012 version"

"After sitting through the 2012 version I had to praise the Guinness performance as the best homage to the source. the Guinness portrayal so outshines Oldman that the producers should hace just re-issued this one. These characters make the cold war seem very real. The new version doesn't seem to be relavent to any time period. The supporting cast in this movie - including the great Ian Bannen - out shines the 2012 movie in every case. This is a movie every spy buff must have along with Smiley's People."

"Slow........"

"In a few words - Slow, interminable, un-engaging, and almost walked out."
