Director Sidney Lumet tackles this cold war spy thriIler based on a novel by master of the genre, John Le Carré. James Mason pIays British secret agent Charles Dobbs, who's puzzled by the sudden suicide of a man he's recentIy investigated. The suicide seems contrary to his own findings, and Dobbs questions the recent widow (Simone Signoret) in an effort to understand the man's state of mind. When the Foreign Office telIs Dobbs to drop the inquiry, he persists, even enIisting a retired investigator when he turns up further disturbing evidence. All of this takes pIace whiIe Dobbs is deaIing with the news that his frequently unfaithfuI wife (Harriet Andersson) has been carrying on an affair with his friend and protégé (MaximiIian Schell). |
