Based on the novel by John Le Carre, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold stars Richard Burton as a dispirited, end-of-tether British secret agent. He comes in from “the cold” (meaning he is pulled out of field operations) to act as a undercover man behind the Iron Curtain. To make his staged defection seem genuine, Burton goes on an alcoholic toot and is imprisoned and publicly humiliated. Once he has been accepted into East German espionage circles, Burton discovers that what he thought was his mission was a mere subterfuge–and that he’s been set up as a pawn for an entirely different operation. Though Ireland and England “stand in” for East Berlin, Spy Who Came In From the Cold has the air of authenticity throughout, thanks in great part to the bleak black and white photography by Oswald Morris. The film was condemned as incomprehensible by those filmgoers accustomed to the simplistic melodramatics of James Bond; seen today, the double-crosses and double-double crosses seem all too clear and credible., Richard Burton, Claire Bloom and Oskar Werner star in this film directed by Martin Ritt. Alec Leamas, a British spy is called back to London after one of his contacts is shot dead at the Berlin Wall. He is given the job to get the East German Communist who is responsible for many of the British counter-espionage failures. Based on a novel by John Le Carre., A world weary British spy engages in an elaborate game of cat and mouse with an old East German opponent., A British spy sent into East Germany during the cold war on an undercover mission increasingly sees himself as a mere cog in his government’s machine.
