Chiamata per il morto (1967)
Samuel Fennan lavora nella sede del controspionaggio inglese. Un giorno arriva una telefonata anonima secondo la quale Fennan sarebbe un individuo poco fidato. Poco dopo l'arrivo di questa telefonata Fennan muore. L'agente Dobbs è incaricato delle indagini, anche se i suoi superiori archiviano subito il fatto come suicidio. Dobbs allora si fa licenziare per continuare le indagini, alla fine della quali scopre il colpevole. Il film è tratto da uno dei più famosi romanzi di John Le Carré, anche se in fase di sceneggiatura la vicenda è stata in parte rimaneggiata. Inquietante e drammatica l'atmosfera, mista di torbido e sentimentale.
