^^good stuff. Speaking of "Another Country," there was that early 80's film as well.

Is it me, or is Philby smirking when he makes his denial...?

^ I'd also recommend that too. He draws heavily on that whole 'Another Country' / 'A Question of Attribution' thing, but he's fun.
The voice he uses entertains.

Re: Spies Like Us: Sir Anthony Blunt -
Oh yes, a real 'Olde Englishe' shit hole. Very 70's to my mind, but being Cambridge that means it was probably a 90's place.
Nasty food & stale beer.
Oxford was better, but not much.
I'm told St. Andrews is nice & not nearly so contrived to catch the tourist trade. Never been invited so I can't say.
When in Oxford last Saturday with J.J. I took him to meet an Old Pal in Oriel - It's only a short stagger from The Old Bank / Quod - He found the place quite disgusting & rightly so.
I've yet to take him to Exeter...

All the Brit Trotskyites became spies. All the American ones became neocons. I think England got the better deal.
What was that film called "An Englishman Abroad"? It had a big tailoring scene: "Madam: From Maidenhead to Moscow, In this shop 'Mum' is always the Word". Alan Bennet? John Schlessiinger? Can that possibly be right?
