The Spy Who Came In From The Cold (Masters of Cinema)

Zavvi - The Home of Pop CultureThe acclaimed, best-selling novel by John le Carré, about a Cold War spy on one final dangerous mission in East Germany, is transmuted by director Martin Ritt (Hud, Norma Rae) into a film every bit as precise and ruthless as the book.Academy Award-nominated Richard Burton (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Becket,1984) is superb as Alec Leamas, whose relationship with the beautiful librarian Nan, played by Claire Bloom (Hamlet, A Streetcar Named Desire), puts his assignment in jeopardy.Winner of 4 BAFTA Awards (including Best British Film) The Spy Who Came in from the Cold is a hard-edged and tragic thriller, suffused with the political and social consciousness that defined Ritt's career. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present the film on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK.Special FeaturesLimited Edition Exclusive O-Card slipcase with new artwork by artist Grégory Sacré (Gokaiju) [2000 copies]1080p presentation on Blu-ray from a restored high-definition digital transferUncompressed LPCM Stereo audioOptional English SDHBrand new audio commentary with film scholar Adrian MartinBrand new video essay by critic and filmmaker David CairnsA collector's booklet featuring a new essay by Richard Combs
