The Spy Who Came In From The Cold: Masters of Cinema (1965)
Monday 10th May 2021
The acclaimed, best-selling novel by John le Carré, about a Cold War spy on one final dangerous mission in East Germany, is transmuted by director Martin Ritt (Hud, Norma Rae) into a film every bit as precise and ruthless as the book.
Academy Award-nominated Richard Burton (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Becket, 1984) is superb as Alec Leamas, whose relationship with the beautiful librarian Nan, played by ClaireBloom (Hamlet, A Streetcar Named Desire), puts his assignment in jeopardy.
Winner of 4 BAFTA Awards (including Best British Film) The Spy Who Came in from the Cold is a hard-edged and tragic thriller, suffused with the political and social consciousness that defined Ritt's career. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present the film on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK on Blu-ray on 17th May 2021.
