PE> Speaking of recently watched movies, last night I finished watching the

PE> because it is a mini-series that runs almost five hours in total
It is good -- it's better watched the way it was shown here, over
say eight weeks (ages ago now). I read it was shown there by CBS but
not taken up by the networks.
It is said that Alec Guinness did such a good
PE> job with the Smiley character that Le Carre couldn't write another Smiley
PE> story because Guinness 'owned' the character.
I doubt that! but he was very good, so were the rest of the cast.
What was noticeably absent was any commitment to
PE> socialism or communism.
yes. But that wasn't I believe true of Philby and co.
