Product Description
Description
From internationally acclaimed spy-turned-author John Le Carre (The Tailor of Panama), come this intelligent and elegant thriller based on his best-selling novel of the same name. Featuring a stellar cast including Academy Award Nominee Denholm Elliott (A Touch of Class), Joss Ackland (K-19: The Widowmaker), and Christian Bale (American Psycho), A Murder Of Quality is available on DVD for the first time ever.
When former colleague of master spy George Smiley (Elliot) receives a letter from a schoolmaster's wife who is convinced her husband is trying to killer her, Smiley agrees to investigate. Smiley soon digs up a world of secret societies and sexual scandals while justice-and the killer-seem as elusive as ever.
But does the mysterious boy Timothy Perkins (Bale) hold the key to everything.

Solid Adaptation,
By A Customer
This review is from: Murder of Quality, a (VHS Tape)
The reviewer from Beumont, TX has no clue what he was watching. To watch this film without any knowledge of the unparalleled John Le Carre is folly. The reviewer didn't know that the so-called "ex-spy" was Le Carre's great hero - George Smiley, spy par excellence despite his failing in the social graces. If you are aware of Le Carre and Smiley, you will enjoy this movie. It is difficult to portray Le Carre books effectively, because of the depth of his characters, but this does a good job of portraying the Smiley character.

Murder of Quality.....John Le Carre,
By William Healey (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Murder of Quality, a (VHS Tape)
Excellent film rendition of the novel, done with the subtle touches that give the educated a stimulating exercise of the "little grey matter".The so called review by:Reviewer: blavis from Beaumont, TX United States confirms the prevailing lack of educated beings' in Texas and most of the Southern US. Such a pity in this day and age.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Murder of Quality, a (VHS Tape)
Is blavis of Beaumont sure that his brain imploded after the film started! I am sure that Christian Bale is relieved that he was excluded from the crystal clarity of your in-depth and thoughtful review.I suggest to any and all lovers of literature on film that you pass on the Top Ten favorite films of blavis of Texas and rent, buy or steal this film. You will not be sorry!
