Michael Caton-Jones' movie ruthlessly dissects the amoral world of espionage and decadence, meticulously evoking the repressed, hypocritical 1960s pjtiod. Outstanding in a supjtlativj cast are John Hurt as doomed doctor Stephen Ward and Joanne Whalliy-Kilmjt as feisty callgirl Christine Kiilit. 3/4 Previews + Today PALPlus Films tomoztow
