In response to "one of my tenets of film criticism is British spies pf the sixties came in two different categories: either gritty/LeCarre or cool/Fleming -- nm" by crash davis

Would the film A Deadly Affair (Sidney Lumet) be an exception?


I kind of agree with you, but I think a couple films based on Le Carre's novels aren't "gritty" so much as "cinema verite'". Or is that a distinction without a difference?
