The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (1965)
The Spy Who Came in from the Cold has been heralded as the best Cold War spy movie. I often find those movies confusing, so forgive me if my plot teaser seems a little muddled. Then again, the movie is supposed to be a little confusing, so I don’t feel that bad.
Richard Burton is a British agent during the Cold War who’s sent to East Germany. He’s supposed to pretend he’s been disgraced and is defecting, but that’s just a ruse in order to infiltrate the bad guys and gain information. I was confused just by that, and that was only the beginning! The rest of the film has twists and turns, complications, characters you’re not sure if you can trust, facts that might turn out to be lies, and above all, a depressingly bleak black-and-white ambiance.
This is definitely a man’s movie, or for girls who don’t confuse easily and actually like spy movies. This isn’t like a James Bond movie; there’s no cheesy humor and no bikini clad babes. This is an understated drama, and when Burton isn’t talking, he’s silently seething like a bomb liable to explode at any moment. It’s pretty intense.
