    Graham Greene's low-keyed, highly absorbing 1978 novel of an aging English double agent finding himself trapped into defecting to Moscow and leaving his family behind may have seemed like ideal material for Otto Preminger's style of dispassionate ambiguity, but helmer doesn't seem up to the occasion, bringing little atmosphere or feeling to the delicate ticks of the story.

    Nicol Williamson plays the lead role of a Secret Service desk man who, due not to political commitment but loyalty to a friend from his days in Africa, discreetly passes occasional information to the East.

    When a leak in his department is discovered and office partner Derek Jacobi, mistakenly identified as the culprit, is eliminated, Williamson feels the walls closing in on him.
