My FAVOURITE movie, it is an all star cast, people who played the role perfectly. I even make toast to eat when Percy and Roy go to see Lacon. Toast it as you press play, it should be like warm to get that butter sound, then bite when he does. Makes it more fun.

Not sure why, but I will quote the line "Smiley is SUSPICIOUS, Percy!" for the rest of my days.

0:22 "Smiley is suspicious, Percy!" What a fantastically asshole-ish delivery.

This is a room of acting gold! These are top brass actors all in the room together and each and every single one of them deliver exactly on point!

“Smiley is suspicious, Percy” is really one of the most matter of fact votes of confidence. If George thinks it’s too good to be true, it probably is.

I can finally put a face to Control's voice...John Hurt is perfect! :)

Just shows what can be done with a simple “boring” line on a script in the hands of a great actor

I really hoped they would have made spy who came in from the cold with john hurt as control before he died. He just nailed the role perfectly. Rip legend

Watching Gary Oldman as Smiley is the kind of "control" I envy. There are a couple of scenes in this film when Smiley had justification for finishing off a certain person with his bare hands, but didn't. The end goal superseded everything else: bagging the mole dead to rights with receipts.

Control was brushing late 70’s and Smiley when the main plot takes place is in his 70’s I believe.

That glance that Colin Firth (Haydon) probably ad libbed towards Smiley is genius. Just as he says "The topicality makes it suspect", both Karla and Haydon knew that Smiley wouldnt bite the bait. He's too smart, hence why they had to pull the Hungarian trap to oust both Control and Smiley and play the puppeteer to Esterhase, Percy and Bland.

You can tell this was the movie that made Nolan jump on the HVH train.

Percy and his little cabal walked in with it

If you're interested in George Smiley, this anecdote may be of interest. John le Carré described Ben Macintyre's fact based novel, The Spy and The Traitor, as "the best true spy story I have ever read". It was about Kim Philby's Russian counterpart, a KGB Colonel named Oleg Gordievsky, codename Sunbeam. In 1974 Gordievsky became a double agent working for MI6 in Copenhagen which was when Bill Fairclough aka Edward Burlington unwittingly launched his career as a secret agent for MI6. Fairclough and le Carré knew of each other: le Carré had even rejected Fairclough's suggestion in 2014 that they collaborate on a book. As le Carré said at the time, "Why should I? I've got by so far without collaboration so why bother now?" A realistic response from a famous expert in fiction in his eighties! Gordievsky never met Fairclough, but he did know Fairclough's handler, Colonel Alan McKenzie aka Colonel Alan Pemberton. It is little wonder therefore that in Beyond Enkription, the first fact based novel in The Burlington Files espionage series, genuine double agents, disinformation and deception weave wondrously within the relentless twists and turns of evolving events. Beyond Enkription is set in 1974 in London, Nassau, Port au Prince and the Americas. Edward Burlington, a far from boring accountant, unwittingly started working for Alan McKenzie in MI6 and later worked eyes wide open for the CIA. What happens is so exhilarating and bone chilling it makes one wonder why bother reading espionage fiction when facts are so much more breathtaking. Len Deighton and Mick Herron could be forgiven for thinking they co-wrote the raw noir anti-Bond narrative, Beyond Enkription. Atmospherically it's reminiscent of Ted Lewis' Get Carter of Michael Caine fame. If anyone ever makes a film based on Beyond Enkription they'll only have themselves to blame if it doesn't go down in history as a classic espionage thriller.

yep, the intonation is perfect.

I love John Hurt (Control) in this scene.

My favorite scene! love it when Control got out of control (no pun intended)

What a cast!

I really miss John Hurt. God he was great in Rob Roy and 1984.

I love John Hurt... what an actor

They did a great job with the movie, I can still remember my granddad being riveted by the TV series, I watched the TV series myself recently and thought it a mighty piece of work. The only thing that as come close to Tinker, Sailor in recent times as been the series The Shadow Line which I thought was fantastic, just a pity that most of the TV bosses are not willing to take a chance on drama which takes or needs a brain to not only write and film but also too watch.

Damn, I read the book, Control is more passive aggressive..here? He's outright sarcastic, snarking away at Percy. Like sure, Control is hostile to Percy but he also hides it with a veneer of professionalism..sorta kinda...here? "Fuck professional courtesy, I fucking hate you Percy Alleline, you greedy, striving son of a bitch!"
