Movie Reviews of Philby, Burgess and Maclean

Movie Review: Superior TV
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a real gem, and a superior production to either the glibly superficial 'Cambridge Spies' or the slightly silly 'Another Country', two historical dramas that centre roughly around the same events. The acting is superb, the Ian Curteis script taut, the build-up and motivation believable. Antony Bate bares an almost uncanny resemblance to the real Philby, Derek Jacobi is suitable disheveled as Guy Burgess, and the best scene belongs to Micheal Culver as McLean losing it in the men's room of the Egyptian embassy. As a piece of TV drama it has rarely been equaled, although it is slightly dated, and remains a benchmark of how this sort of make historical drama should be made (in my humble opinion). I'm really glad this has been released to DVD. Hopefully, 'An Englishman Abroad', Alan Bennet's brilliant screenplay with Alan Bates as Guy Burgess will at last make it to DVD format as well.
