TINKER, TAILER, SOLDIER, SPY
2011



WHY REMAKE THIS IN 2011 WHEN IT WAS RELEASED IN 2002?


TO OUT THE REAL BRITISH 'MOLE'.


THE ACTION TAKES PLACE IN 1973 WITH REAL AGENT NAMES ELLIS,

POLYAKOV

THAT WOULD MAKE:

ACTOR GARY OLDMAN (GEORGE SMILEY) = MAURICE OLDFIELD


MAURICE OLDFIELD WAS DEPUTY TO 2 'C' S AND 'C' HIMSELF.

('M' JAMES BOND)

DICK WHITE 1956-1968

JOHN RENNIE 1968-1973

MAURICE OLDFIELD 1973-1978


SAID OF MAURICE OLDFIELD IN BRITISH ARCHIVES

'A SHY AND GOOD MAN, BUT HE WAS A POOR JUDGE OF

CHARACTER . EVEN THOUGH WE HAD UNCOVERED A TRAITOR OF

MAJOR PROPORTIONS, I SOMETIME FELT AS IF IT WERE I WHO WAS

BEING BLAMED. (ELLIS SIS CONTROLLER FAR EAST, CONTROLLER

WESTERN HEMISPHERE, AND A GERMAN AND RUSSIAN SPY)'


OLDFIELD WAS DEEP IN COUNTER-INTELLIGENCE, WORKING WITH

JAMES ANGLETON OF THE CIA ON 'THE HALL OF MIRRORS'.


OLDFIELD, THE WRONG GUY (BAD JUDGE OF CHARACTER) OR THE

RIGHT GUY (UBER CONTROLLER) TO BLOW ALLIED SPIES COVERS

(PROBABLY FOR MONEY).


SMILEY, THE SILENT TYPE. A GOOD COVER FOR A TRAITOR.


OLDFIELD, A CONFIRMED HOMOSEXUAL, WAS ON GOOD TERMS WITH

BATCHELOR PRIME MINISTER HEATH.


SO, THERE YOU HAVE THE MOLES, INCLUDING THE PM.
