Although Denholm Elliot makes a very good George Smiley, the story in «A Murder Of Quality» is so exceedingly boring and tripe that it can hardly be seen without slumbering underway.
In my viewpoint it is totally in breach with the character that George Smiley has in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (series) and as far as I go it hardly qualifies to be listed among the stories of John Le Carré.
The acting of Denholm Elliot as well as Joss Ackland is clear, good and supreme, and the direction of certain scenes - as purporting to the «silvery angel» is rather made up as a good idea, but just remains so intensly -boring- through and through, that I simply don't have another word for it.
