The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (1965)

Seen in 2015.

Significantly less clever and more overtly moralizing than later works in the franchise.

The domestic level of the drama is cliché. At least it’s allowed some impact. Alfredson, Le Carré and van Hoytema make a good trio, but I prefer the TV version for its coldness.
