    Movie review time. A Murder of Quality. Thames telemovie written by John Le Carre and with an all star cast. So many stars I couldn’t guess who the murderer was! Anyway, murder comes to St Custards and George Smiley is asked by a friend to snoop around.

    It’s really well done, quite enjoyable if you like Sherlock Holmes style who dunnits interspersed with the usual and not relevant to the story Le Carre talk about “the gays in MI6”.

    3 hobbits.

    If Lindsay Anderson and John Osborne had a bastard baby it would be Charlie Bubbles. The painfully artsy Italian movie music made me want to cut my ears off with a rusty shiv. Why?

    This movie is 10 years too late if it wanted to show “real” life and thumb it’s nose at the establishment. If it didn’t try to be artsy or try to tell a message it would probably have been ok.

    Watch If, Alfie and Look Back in Anger instead.

    1 hobbit , it pointed the camera in the right direction and the lips synched with the sound.
