The school is all that is desirable on the outside, yet has dark secrets on the inside. Sheila Rode possesses all these secrets and is murdered for them. What I find most intriguing about the story is how people remember Sheila. She is a Goody Two Shoes that everyone loved to hate. Even her father cannot say anything good about her, even when pressed by Smiley in his reporter's guise (Smiley: "How would you best remember her?" Father: "She got what she deserved.") Ouch. Her last act of blackmail was against her husband in a letter written to an agony columnist. In talking to Smiley (it turns into therapy for his agonized mourning--this is an especially good portrayal of complicated loss) the husband reveals he hadn't realized how much he'd hated her--how evil she really was--until after her death. No clue wasted in this John Le Carre screenplay based on his book by the same name. I loved the cinematography. Those haunting images of the ghostly figure in the luminous raincoat on the bicycle traveling through the rain--what the homeless woman saw, of course, when she thought she saw the devil. Maybe she did. --Janet Grace Riehl, author Sightlines: A Poet's Diary Very good portrayal of George Smiley August 18, 2006 A viewer (Northern Michigan,USA) 11 out of 11 found this review helpful I wasn't sure how I'd like an actor other than Alec Guinness playing George Smiley-but Elliott does a fine job.As other reviewers have noted,the plot doesn't concern spies this time. As usual,it may take 2 or more viewings (or reading the book) to appreciate all the subtle points being made (talking always exceeds action for Le Carre)-but this is a big plus for me. IE the performance can be enjoyably viewed many times.If you like this one,you should view the 2 Guinness portrayals of Smiley. A fine production January 2, 2001 17 out of 20 found this review helpful This is an excellent adaptation of John Le Carre's elegant mystery concerning Britain's class system and academia. Beware though: not for the unintelligent. John Le Carre November 16, 2009 Arthur A. Pedersen (St. Louis, MO) Story of quality! What else can any one say. See it, understand it, enjoy it (?). I did! Murder of Quality.....John Le Carre January 28, 2004 William Healey (San Francisco, CA USA) 6 out of 12 found this review helpful Excellent film rendition of the novel, done with the subtle touches that give the educated a stimulating exercise of the "little grey matter". The so called review by:Reviewer: blavis from Beaumont, TX United States confirms the prevailing lack of educated beings' in Texas and most of the Southern US. Such a pity in this day and age.
