THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD is often considered one of the best spy movies of all time. We couldn\u2019t agree more. In this episode, Dan and Tom decode this classic.

As far as spy movies go, THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD is dark, and probably a bit more realistic in terms of a spy\u2019s life, than anything James Bond does. \xa0There are no Aston Martins here, no tuxedos, no glamorous venues \u2013 nothing that could make you smile or feel relaxed much. \xa0The decision to film it in black and white was brilliant and adds to the overall feeling of despair.

The story is fairly complex, and you must pay attention.

Dan and Tom will help guide you through some of the complexities, although they disagree on the ending.

They also discuss how this movie fits into the time of the Cold War and real-world double-agents.

The cast, led by Richard Burton, Claire Bloom, and Oskar Werner, is top shelf. Burton earned a BAFTA Best British Actor win and an Academy Award Nomination for his role as Alec Leamas. The movie picked up seven BAFTA nominations, winning four of them. It also earned an Academy Award Nomination for Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, Black and White, among other industry awards. Oskar Werner picked up a BAFTA nomination for Best Foreign Actor as well.

So, have a listen and you\u2019ll \u201cBe in the Know.\u201d This should be a must-see for any spy movie fan.\xa0 Learn more about it as we decode THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD.
