The performance of Sir Alec Guiness in Smiley's People is deservedly highly praised world-wide, but the performances of all the other actors are also of the highest class. For example, Patrick Stewart has only a few seconds, doesn't speak a word, yet dominates the scene in which he appears -- great stuff. The director, Simon Langton, is also on top form; what a joy it is to have a narrative exposed at just the right pace, not rushed through in 3 second bites. Altogether a production which outshines many present-day ones. I can't praise it too highly -- buy while you can!
