Two classic espionage movie thrillers come to vivid life in this class. The brilliant writer, John LeCarre, redefined the spy thriller. His novels adapt beautifully to these two highly acclaimed films, each of which expose the ruthless world of British espionage during the Cold War – but they do so in dramatically different ways. Le Carre's most beloved character, George Smiley, who appears in both films, will be featured as well as some inside spy lingo. Students should be familiar with both films for this interactive class, which are available on Amazon and should be accessible from your local library.
