The British class system is under fire in this adaptation of John LeCarre's novel. George Smiley (Deholm Elliot) is called in to investigate the murder of a schoolteacher's wife at a public school. Encountering snobbery and slippery alibis at every turn, Smiley must figure out which attitudes and lies are relevant to the facts of the case. (official distributor synopsis)
