Well, not that faithful really. Oldman manages to give a good performance as Smiley allowing me to see nuance that I had missed with Alec Guinness. All the supporting cast are excellent even if the script they follow departs from the Le Carre text. Certainly worth watching if you can cope with a slow pace that is lifted directly from the novel.

Very good adaption and worth watching, however the original superb bbc tv series is on youtube and a must for the spy fan! Worth watching both, merits in each!

Will always have a soft spot for the original, but this is a worthy watch in it's own right. Twists and turns just as you would expect from a Le Carre novel
