Both were well made films, but where MI was all gonzo action and Tom Cruise emoting and tensing his jaw, there was little of action in TTSS and Oldman was astonishing at showing much with little. Made me want to go back and watch The Conversation. Jennifer, I especially loved the contrast between Tinker Tailor and Mission Impossible.

I wish I could read them again for the first time! Hope you get a chance to look at them. I’m a big fan of Connie Willis’s books, especially Doomsday Book, Blackout, and All Clear.
