Closet spies
Today's film covers the early days of the English traitors Burgess and McClean.
How they got started with each other and their beliefs which, as we now know, led to some major league spying for the Commies.
The film is more about their early relationship, gay liaisons at their public school. Meaning, in Britishese, private school. Eton I think.
It is a very good movie which I have seen several times. This time to see Cary Elwas who plays McClean.
This is a great film which I enjoy every time I see it. Filled with nuances and tip offs about what will happen later after this story concludes. Their best friend is already an avowed party member, A very young Colin Firth.
This was a career making film for all three young men.
It rates a 5 out of Netflix5 because I come back to it over and over.
