John Le Carré’s A Murder of Quality Directed by Gavin Millar, 2004

From internationally acclaimed spy-turned-author John Le Carré (The Tailor of Panama), comes this intelligent and elegant thriller based on his best-selling novel of the same name. Featuring a stellar cast including Academy Award Nominee Denholm Elliott (A Room with a View), Academy Award Winner Glenda Jackson (A Touch of Class), Joss Ackland (K-19: The Widowmaker), and Christian Bale (American Pyscho), A MURDER OF QUALITY is available on DVD for the first time ever.

When a former colleague of master spy George Smiley (Elliot) receives a letter from a schoolmaster’s wife who is convinced her husband is trying to kill her, Smiley agrees to investigate. Only he arrives too late. The grief-stricken husband has an airtight alibi, but everybody else seems to have something to hide. Smiley soon digs up a world of secret societies and sexual scandals while justice-and the killer-seem as elusive as ever.

But does the mysterious boy Timothy Perkins (Bale) hold the key to everything?
