Few authors have had a better shake at the movies than John le Carré, whose sophisticated novels of Cold War atmosphere, moral ambiguities and wryly observed backroom machinations have long attracted talented filmmakers and leading actors.
Alec Guinness gave the definitive performance as George Smiley in the BBC miniseries versions of
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (1979) and
Smiley s People (1982), both on Amazon Prime. Some le Carre adaptations go inside the not-so-fashionable lives of British agents while others follow outsiders â a bureaucrat, a hotel manager, an actress â as they re brought into new worlds of intrigue and danger. These six films and two miniseries give the flavour of le Carré s uniquely jaundiced take on the spy thriller genre.
