剧情介绍
费农(罗伯特·弗莱明 Robert Flemyng 饰)是英国外交部的高官,某日,他的上司收到了匿名举报信,检举揭发费农是间谍。上头派出了调查员查尔斯(詹姆斯·梅森 James Mason 饰)调查事件的真相,哪知道在这个节骨眼上,费农竟然自杀了。
虽然事件的主人公死了,但是调查还是要继续下去,很快,查尔斯就发现,费农或许并不是畏罪自裁,其背后的黑手也许就是他的枕边人艾尔莎(西蒙·西涅莱 Simone Signoret 饰)。在一位老警探的帮助下,查尔斯决定继续深挖,然而,在他离真相越来越近的同时,危险也在步步紧逼。 After Charles Dobbs, a security officer, has a friendly chat with Samuel Fennan from the Foreign Office, the man commits suicide. An anonymous typed letter had been received accusing Fennan of being a Communist during his days at Oxford and their chat while walking in the park was quite amiable. Senior officials want the whole thing swept under the rug and are pleased to leave it as a suicide. Dobbs isn't at all sure as there are a number of anomalies that simply can't be explained away. Dobbs is also having trouble at home with his errant wife, whom he very much loves, having frequent affairs. He's also pleased to see an old friend, Dieter Frey, who he recruited after the war. With the assistance of a colleague and a retired policeman, Dobbs tries to piece together just who is the spy and who in fact assassinated Fennan.

勒卡雷的间谍小说普遍面临影像化缺乏戏剧张力的问题,这部以及之后的《锅匠裁缝士兵间谍》都是一样的毛病:暗流涌动却让人昏昏欲睡
60年代特有的节奏
昆西·琼斯配乐,男主是希区柯克《西北偏北》大反派、库布里克版《洛丽塔》里的亨伯特、斯蒂芬·金《撒冷镇》大反派……女主是英格玛·伯格曼御用女演员之一,是《不良少女莫妮卡》、《呼喊与细语》里的病妇、《犹在镜中》里与弟乱伦的疯姐姐……导演西德尼·吕美特,拍过《十二怒汉》《东方快车谋杀案》《热天午后》……本片在其作品中虽质量一般,但冷幽默中不乏社会批判:社畜老特工失业+被戴绿帽,奸夫还是自己徒弟;瞌睡警长家里开动物园、酒吧老板重婚两个老婆……战后伦敦成了间谍之城,满目疮痍光怪陆离
还挺喜欢的,本来勒卡雷的冷硬派间谍故事就不是主打娱乐性,但全片还是散布着很多的小幽默,推理一直在有条不紊地进行,男主的婚姻问题和工作问题巧妙地汇成了一条线,当然因为知道男主本来就是Smiley再看他重拳出击的时候还有点好笑~
剧情足够曲折,自杀发生之后的案情梳理过程破朔迷离,冗长且沉闷,结尾部分算是发泄了下。可是西蒙·西涅莱这么快就出场了,还是个看似不起眼的小角色,稍微有点儿常识的观众也会马上得出“这个女人不一般”的结论。所以,导演的煞费苦心其实没有多大的作用。
根据勒卡雷的小说改编,吕美特执导,依旧不是那么直接,晦涩耐嚼,喜欢这样的调调。
一吵架就出现让人出戏的背景音乐是怎么回事哈哈哈
Indicator;
无事献殷勤,非奸即盗
这部一般
ann的戏份和书不同,改得非常好,几条线索串在了一起,并且让故事一直有张力。强烈怀疑勒卡雷偷师了电影中男主角和ann分分合合的处理,用于史迈利三部曲中。
没有看懂对日常生活描写的很好不了解男主的思维
看不来勒卡雷,吕美特也救不了【有些剪辑还是够味...蜜汁配乐简直了,搞笑来的
好多dramatic cus,头晕!还是不错看,节奏不错比较顺畅
哇 居然是根据小说"Call for the Dead"改编的 只是George Smiley的名字怎么被改了。。
