I have returned to the book a few times. It's a gripping yarn with three ingredients I like... spies, WW2 and The Middle East. This is, however, an appalling adaptation.

Made in the 80's but feels like it has the production values of the 50's. The secondary characters are so badly portrayed. As for the two male and two female leads... really these performances are unprintable... though likely not their fault... it's just such a bad production.

If ever a film needed a remake by someone good with good directing and production... this is it. It's a super story.
