This is one of the best espionage/thriller ever produced on television. It's a shame that this production ended on television and not in the big screen during its released in 1988.
Although, it's understandable because during those times television was definitely much "bigger" than the movies....plus the stars Richard Chamberlain and Jaclyn Smith were the sort of royalties of U.S. television -- dubbed King & Queen of Miniseries.
Excellent performances which was awarded with nominations from the Golden Globe and Emmy Awards.
This is true to the book. If you're going to watch the movie version with Matt Damon make sure you see this one first...
