CGiii Comment

You don't get much better than this - the truth being more incredible than fiction.

Terribly theatrical, terribly English and the spy who rocked the boat in 1958 Moscow - gay Guy Burgess.

Touching...and so, so memorable.

Was it worth it Guy?

It just wasn't long enough.

Stunning.


No trailer...
