Zitate
Adm. Sir Gerald Scaith: [On the legalisation of homosexuality] Only sensible law we've made in England this century. Consenting adults. Would have saved Vassall and Maclean. And Burgess too of course, not that I think he wouldn't have done it with a hedgehog.

Philip Kimberly or Kim Philby?

I had seen a documentary about espionage a couple of weeks before seeing this film on TV by chance and i found it simply amusing. The parallels between the film character Philip Kimberly and Kim Philby of real life are too many for this to be just a coincidence (not to mention the name of the film character which seems itself to be some anagram of Kim Philby).

All in all this is a nice film if you like espionage with a little comedy on the side. As for the comment of the other reviewer about the film being hard to follow: i didn't think it was THAT hard to follow. Besides, this being an espionage movie, if it wasn't a teensy bit hard to follow what would be the fun in it?
