TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY: The Great Spies of Cinema

The spy genre is one of the oldest in film history, popularized by the great Alfred Hitchcock in the 1930's. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy may be one of the most intricate spy movie to come along in years, but here we will discuss a retrospective of the best films of this category to come before, from Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much and Sabotage to more recent flicks like Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Casino Royale.

Things aren't always as they seem in the Oscar®-nominated, suspenseful, and stylish thriller from director Tomas Alfredson (Let the Right One In), based on the classic novel by John le Carré. At the height of the Cold War, Britain's Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), a.k.a. MI6 and code-named the Circus, has been compromised.  An ever-watchful former top lieutenant and career spy, George Smiley (Gary Oldman, The Dark Knight, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix ), is called out of retirement by the government to help identify and track a suspected mole at the top of the agency.  The list of suspects is narrowed to five men.  Even before the startling truth is revealed, the emotional and physical tolls on the players enmeshed in the deadly international spy game will escalate...
