Reseña destacada
Intrigue , suspense and extraordinary acting by an excellent cast
The picture concerns upon the world of secrets agents an spies . An agent (Robert Flemyng) commits suicide and another named Charles Dobbs (a magnificent James Mason as Smiley though the character was renamed Charles Dobbs for this movie) believes to be a murder . His chief nicknamed Marlene Dietrich (Max Adrian) orders investigate it . Charles Dobbs married to an unfaithful wife called Ann Dobbs (actress Candice Bergen was the first choice to play Charles Dobbs' spouse , the part went to Harriet Andersson) is helped by an ex-police officer (Harry Andrews) . There are many suspects (Simone Signoret , Roy Kinnear , Maximilian Schell..) , who's the killer ?
This interesting movie is a cold thriller plenty of suspense , mystery , tension and a little bit of violence . This is second and final screen adaptation of a John Le Carré story scripted by Paul Dehn , the first had been The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (1965) released a year earlier . Although the story gets several ingredients for entertainment , the plot is some embarrassing and flawed , the screenplay has gaps and results to be some confusing though entertaining . The film's source novel title 'Call for the Dead' was changed to 'The Deadly Affair' for this movie as this was a more commercial title . The character of George Smiley, 'John Le Carré's hero, was renamed Charles Dobbs for this movie , this was because the Paramount Studio had bought the rights to the Smiley name when they produced The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (1965). In this film, James Mason was the second actor to play John le Carré's famous George Smiley character on screen and TV . The casting is first-rate with a top-notch star-studded , specially by James Mason and Maximiliam Schell . Very good support cast , mainly formed by prestigious British actors such as Harry Andrews , Robert Flemyng , Roy Kinnear , Max Adrian , among others . This is the only film in which siblings Corin Redgrave and Lynn Redgrave both appear .
Dark as well as colorful cinematography by the classic British cameraman Freddie Young , being first theatrical color movie of a John Le Carré story , The Spy Who Came in from the Cold was in black-and-White . Jazzy as well as evocative musical score by Quincy Jones . The flick belongs to spies sub-genre developed during ¨Cold war¨ and its maxim representations are John LeCarre's novels rendered to cinema in movies as ¨The spy who came in from cold¨ (by Martin Ritt with Richard Burton) , ¨The Kremlin Letter¨(John Huston with Nigel Green) and ¨Russia House¨(Fred Schepisi with Sean Connery) , these films get similar atmosphere and twisted intrigues about spies among East and west World but with no relation to spies from James Bond novels by Ian Fleming . The motion picture was professionally directed by Sidney Lumet . The story will appeal to suspense movies fans.
