Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (DVD, 2004, 3-Disc Set)

Top Spy Movie

Best spy story of all time. This original version is considerably longer than the newer moie with Gary Oldman who was good as Smiley but Alec Guiness was superb as well as the supporting cast.

The author understands Russian history & psychology-pity most Americans don’t

Just brilliant on its own so I had to also order the Smileys People CD set.
My $.02: If you really want to “get” the post WWII espionage & political environment, I suggest you read the novels first.Read full review

Alec Guiness is always great.

CC, but not subtitled. My Home Theater set up won't let me access CC. I end up watching CC material on my computer.
I know this story well and enjoyed the cast throughout.
Discs played fine. No skipping or dropouts.Read full review

DVD set handled with care

An as advertised DVD set of the BBC series of days long gone. I was happy to find a well cared for item to match "Smiley's People" thus completing my collection.

Tops as a spy story.

In depth character study and analysis of who to trust (nobody). Suspense from beginning to end.

John strikes again.

Had to buy the DVD after I'd read LeCarre's latest book, as a refresher course.
