A Murder of Quality

Legendary undercover agent George Smiley (Denholm Elliott) comes out of retirement to help solve a baffling murder at a cloistered, all-male boarding school. As the inscrutable Smiley digs beneath the surface, he uncovers a world of rituals, secret societies and sex scandals. Glenda Jackson and Christian Bale co-star in this Masterpiece Theatre potboiler, which novelist John Le Carré adapted from his best-selling book.
