CGiii Comment
Although the British establishment would prefer that this part of history was swept under the carpet, or better...deleted from memory - it still is, and always will be, an intoxicating story.
Oxbridge, espionage and gentlemen - beautifully constructed...for yet another rendition of this familiar tale of treachery.
Tireless.
Trailer...made by a 'fan'...

In 1934, four brilliant Cambridge men are recruited to spy for Russia. Fueled by youthful idealism, a passion for social justice and a talent for lying, they take huge personal risks to pass Britain's biggest secrets to Moscow. Based on true events.
