The Deadly Affair

The Deadly Affair

The Deadly Affair is a 1966 British espionage–thriller film, based on John le Carré's first novel Call for the Dead. The film stars James Mason, Harry Andrews, Simone Signoret and Maximilian Schell. It was directed by Sidney Lumet from a script by Paul Dehn. In the movie, a Columbia Pictures production, the central character is renamed Charles Dobbs since Paramount owned the film rights to the name George Smiley, the central character of the novel and many other le Carré books. Paramount acquired the film rights to the character name when filming The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. The soundtrack was composed by Quincy Jones, and the bossa nova theme song, "Who Needs Forever", was performed by Astrud Gilberto.
