While on the subject of films of LeCarre's books, I believe one of the best is the overlooked Tailor of Panama with a much different spy than the one Pierce Brosnan usually played.
I would rate it number three after The Spy and Who Came In From The Cold and perhaps unfairly the BBC TV production of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

Never watched the Brosnan film. Just downloaded it.
BBC production very good indeed. I liked the Constant Gardener better this time around, I think.

The Tailor of Panama was excellent imo. I probably found Tinker Tailor more interesting though, having read several books on/about Philby, Burgess & their contemporaries. Our Man in Havana is another good one in the same vein.

Have you seen the BBC production? Due to its length (six parts) it's able to give a a thorough treatment of a very complex book. It is then followed by the equally excellent, six part, Smiley's People.
FWIW I read Philby's autobiography, My Secret Life around 1969.

Years ago when it came out, but that was so long ago it would be interesting to see again. How was Philby's autobiography?

Oh, a great topic. Best films derived from a play.

Talk about a long time ago. As I remember it's a bit dry and also he never discusses his motivations.
