    This is what I love about this book. He doesn't glamourize either side. he shows that both of them know the most important rule of any type of war - you do what you have to do if you want to win

    Oh hell, you can take just about any scene from this movie and it absolutely makes chills climb my spine.... And I read the book, the short, magnificent, brutal book before I saw the movie. And never have I seen an actor so deftly slide into a character role so convincingly, so completely. The book, all by itself, blew me away when I first read it. And today, whenever I think of the character of Leamas, it's not whatever mind's eye image I formed of him whenever I first read it that I see. It is, and forever shall be, Richard Burton in that devastating role.

      Perfectly summed up. A devastating book that says everything it needs to about the Cold War in a tidy 200 pages or so. And the great director Martin Ritt perfectly captured the novel in this movie. Ritt said of Burton’s performance in this movie: something like “ i got the last good lay out of the old whore.”

    Claire Bloom & Richard Burton means perfection for me together. They filmed four movies together, and they are amazing as a couple in everyone of them.
    Alexander The Great is my favorite, but omg. Richard really had something for Claire onscreen.

    I can think of no other actor who could convey in a character such genuine deep-seated disaffected anger and contempt for all those around him. Watch Richard Burton in the courtroom scene in "The Medusa Touch" as a further example. Or his portrail in "Night of the Iguana". And as for "Whose Afraid of Virgina Woolf?"...well I rest my case.

    Happy 91st to Claire Bloom. They originally considered Rita Tushingham due to her working class cred, but Bloom did a good job. Also Richard wanted Liz for the part, but he didn't have casting control, though he did get his friends in other roles in the film. Burt Lancaster was originally considered as a possible actor for it too.

    Claire Bloom's face (reaction} along with the magnificent acting by the great Richard Burton is what makes this scene so remarkable. She is extremely beautiful, and her realization of the truth makes her face look scared, disappointed, and distraught. She finally to her horror realizes that she has been a fool and a useful idiot all that time.
    John LeCarre thought that she was way too beautiful, and her persona and speech were too upper-class for this role, and wanted Rita Tushingham for the role. However, we are lucky that her great talent overrode all of those doubts.

    So what you're saying is that someone who is dead, copied someone else who is also dead and should therefore have died of lung cancer instead of a stroke (triggered by alcoholism and cirrhosis).
    So, what was the point of that?

    One of the funny things about this scene is that Burton was drinking so hard in those days that he couldn't remember his lines - he had cue cards pasted all over the inside of the car just out of sight of the camera.

      Not true. He certainly isn’t reading in this scene but he does at the end of The Wild Geese when he confronts Matheson. Marlon Brando couldn’t be bothered to learn lines in Julius Caesar.
