"Spy Who Came in from the Cold" and Smiley

Smiley was the agent who tried to talk Burton over the wall in the denoument. Rupert Cusack played Smiley in the movie. He had a long way to go at that time.

le Carre wrote great stuff. For fiction. As he said about himself

The answer is that nothing that I write is authentic. It is the stuff of dreams, not reality. Yet I am treated by the media as though I wrote espionage handbooks. I am regarded as a sage on every spy case from the double-agent Judas to your wretched Mr. Aldrich Ames.

And to a point I am flattered that my fabulations are taken so seriously. Yet I also despise myself in the fake role of guru, since it bears no relation to who I am or what I do. Artists, in my experience, have very little center. They fake. They are not the real thing. They are spies. I am no exception.
