Compulsion
I’m such a fool for Martin Ritt‘s The Spy Who Came In From The Cold that I’m thinking of buying the just-out Criterion DVD of same, even though the 2004 Paramount Home Video DVD has always looked fine to me. I’m mulling the buy on the half-chance that the Criterion may look slightly richer and more detailed. Neither DVD Beaver’s Gary Tooze nor DVD Talk’s Jamie S. Rich offer comparisons between the two.
What about Beckett, Jeff? This is out today on Blu-Ray as well, if I’m not mistaken. Of course, the regular DVD came out not too long ago, so it’s probably too soon to upgrade.
Great film, but you do get pulled out of it when someone other than Alec Guinness shows up playing George Smiley.
Yeah, when do we get Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy on Blu Ray? That’s the day I upgrade.
Was Tinker Tailor shot on film? As a circa-1980 BBC production I’m not sure… haven’t seen it in a long time. Wondering if there would be any resolution gain in a Blu-ray version over standard def.
I’m pretty sure TT was shot on film. Not sure about Smiley’s People. I thought I read as much. Percy Alleline, Toby Esterhase, Bill Haydon and Roy Blunt. God, I love those names.
They were both shot on film.
I just finished reading The Honorable Schoolboy, and I’m a bit confused. Did the BBC only adapt the first and third books in the “Karla trilogy”, or did they shoehorn material from the second into one of the other two?
They look pretty appealing, esp. with Guinness starring.
Ben Mankiewicz called it out on Sunday.
And for those who haven’t seen them and happen to be big ST-TNG fans, there’s an added bonus to watching the George Smiley series….
(no spoilers, let them find out on their own)
Jeff, the print of the Criterion edition, as far as I could tell, is not signifigantly different from the recent DVD, but the extras are worth it; a recent interview with le Carre about the film (I guess you all know Burt Lancaster was the studio’s choice for Leamus, and Trevor Howard was le Carre’s, but I didn’t), a profile of le Carre that came out in 2000 (I think), and an interview between Kenneth Tynan and Richard Burton (though they don’t discuss the film at all).
Lazarus, “Honorable Schoolboy” wasn’t used for either miniseries, and wasn’t filmed at all (though the character of Jerry Westerby appears in TINKER). To be fair, though I love the novel, you don’t really miss it. And Guiness is terrific in both (though I prefer TINKER).
The book and film are both excellent. An excellent antidote for the over the top Bond films.
sorry for the threadcrap, but the title I’d really like to see on DVD is Ian Holm in Game, Set, and Match…
Is it as good as I remember?
The only thing that bugged me about SP was that Michael Jayston, who played Peter Guillam in TTSS, was replaced by another much older actor. That blew. Still love Bernard Hepton as Toby Esterhase, though. A great character.
I doubt we’ll see Game, Set and Match for some time. Len Deighton HATED Ian Holm as his character (In spite of it being some of Holms’ greatest work!) and did not want it screened. I’m not sure of what the exact details are.
Jeff: you’ve bumped into a lot of folks in your time. Any stories about Richard Burton?
