Smiley's People

John Le Carré's government operative George Smiley (Alec Guinness) comes out of retirement again when a former colleague is murdered. Using his keen intuition and espionage expertise, Smiley fingers a Soviet arch-rival who goes by the name of "Karla," and an intense cat-and-mouse game ensues in this six-part follow-up to "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy." With Barry Foster, Alan Rickman, Patrick Stewart. 5 1/2 hrs. on three discs. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; interview; biography; filmographies.
