Movie Reviews

Packed with Emotion
Peter Reeve | Thousand Oaks, CA USA | 01/28/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"An amazingly powerful drama based on the Hugh Whitmore play, in turn based on the true story of the Soviet spies, Peter and Helen Kroger. This is a low-budget, low-key movie that builds an emotional intensity that is almost unbearable. The cast is superb, without exception, and Anthony Page's direction is unerring.A neglected masterpiece that all drama lovers should see."
One of Best TV Movies Ever
Paul A. Klinger | Granada Hills, California United States | 03/13/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This English made for TV movie is tense and absorbing. It concerns the
effect on a long time friendship between two women (Ellen Burstyn and
Teri Garr) when Scotland yard asks Burstyn to use her house to spy on
Garr, a suspected Russian spy (along with her husband) during the cold war. The film is extermely intelligently scripted and builds to a climax
that is at once disturbing and tension ridden as well as painful. It
can be watched repeatedly and never seems to lose its bite."
Packed with Drama
Dianne | US | 05/11/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This 1987 BBC made-for-tv drama is an exceptional film, based on the true story of Soviet spies living in a neighborhood in England, posing as a Canadian bookseller and his wife, during the Cold War. They were actually Americans who were involved in a large spy ring. The action centers on the impact that is made on the English family who considers them their best friends, when Intelligence officers take over an upstairs bedroom in order to watch the "Schaefers". It asks the question, "Loyalty to friendship or country?".

This is an extraordinarily well acted and directed film with Ellen Bursten as the English housewife and Terri Garr as her best friend Helen Schaefer. Alan Bates is also featured as the Intelligence officer.

Definitely worth buying. You'll watch it again and again!"
