Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy name overshadows gimmick

In fact, the reason why this film started was very mentally retarded. A leader of an intelligence agency sent a senior spy to the enemy-occupied area. He sent a heavyweight spy without careful study of the source of information, and there was no on-the-spot investigation by local agents. The verification and correspondence were too rash, and the whole army was wiped out. It was a big joke!
The smart spy inside was actually very stupid and a little unprofessional. He didn't have any protection measures for the important information sources he already knew, and there was no ABC's retreat plan. The innocent beauty suffered a headshot and died tragically.
The whole film does not conform to the principle of espionage warfare at all, the logic is chaotic and the only thing that can be highlighted is the quality of the actors and the creation of the atmosphere.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy quotes

  • [Alleline's telex arrives from London]

    Ricki Tarr: Read it aloud.

    Ben: "Personal for Tarr from Alleline: require clarification before meeting your request. Quote, 'information vital to safeguarding of the Circus', unquote, does not qualify, send further information."

    Ricki Tarr: [laughing maniacally] That's the way, Percy boy! You keep stalling. I warn you, Ben, we've got some really lousy people in this outfit, I wouldn't trust a fucking one of them!

  • Percy Alleline: The Minister agrees with me that too many secrets are blowin' around here. Too much failure, too many scandals, too little solid intelligence.

    Roy Bland: Percy does have a point, Control. We should be fighting communism, not each other.

    Percy Alleline: Well, we're losing our reputation. Our partners.

    Control: [scoffs] Your bloody Yanks!

    Percy Alleline: And we've had enough! There's going to be changes.

    Easterhase: We need to decide if we want to be part of the past or part of the future.

    Control: I should have left you where I found you.

    Easterhase: Look!

    Roy Bland: Control-...

    Control: Out! All of you!
