A radio play of John le Carré's novel "The Looking Glass War" was produced and broadcast by Radio 4 in 2009, with Simon Russell Beale as George Smiley, Piotr Baumann as Leiser, Patrick Kennedy as Avery, and Ian McDiarmid as LeClerc. This radio play featured the George Smiley character, who had been dropped for this movie.
The voice of Christopher Jones was dubbed.
Sir David Lean had difficulty casting the role of Major Randolph Doryan in Ryan's Daughter (1970)." Lean wanted to work with Marlon Brando, but he was not offered the role. Lean cast Christopher Jones after seeing him in this movie, not knowing that Jones' voice had been dubbed. Jones proved to be a disaster during filming, which explains the monosyllabism of his character, and the loquaciousness of his aide-de-camp, who had to pick up the slack, as Jones simply could not act. Jones' voice eventually was dubbed for "Ryan's Daughter (1970)" as well.
The popular and famous John le Carré character of George Smiley, who appears in the novel, was dropped from this adaptation.
Debut theatrical movie of writer, producer, and director Frank Pierson, who was billed as "Frank R. Pierson".
"Leiser: What's your name? John Avery: You can't have my name, it's a breach of security. Leiser: You know, I'm risking my life for you so I want a name, give me a name, I don't care. Any name! John Avery: John. Leiser: John. John."
"John Avery: But the gun. Sending a man with a gun across the border is an act of war."
