The acclaimed, best-selling novel by John le Carré, about a Cold War spy on one final dangerous mission in East Germany, is transmuted by director Martin Ritt into a film every bit as precise and ruthless as the book. Richard Burton is superb as Alec Leamas, whose relationship with the beautiful librarian Nan, played by Claire Bloom, puts his assignment in jeopardy. The Spy Who Came in from the Cold is a hard-edged and tragic thriller, suffused with the political and social consciousness that defined Ritt’s career.Blu-ray Special Edition FeaturesRestored high-definition digital transfer, with uncompressed monaural soundtrackInterview with author John le Carré from 2008Selected-scene commentary featuring director of photography Oswald MorrisThe Secret Centre: John le Carré(2000), a BBC documentary on the author’s extraordinary life and workA 1967 interview with Richard Burton from the BBC series Acting in the 60’s,conducted by film critic Kenneth TynanAn audio conversation from 1985 between director Martin Ritt and film historian Patrick McGilliganGallery of set designsTheatrical trailerPLUS: An essay by critic Michael Sragow
