  I have long been a Le Carre fan and I bought "The Little Drummer Girl"
  when it came out in hard cover.  I liked the book, it was one of the few
  Le Carre books that has a sunny setting (i.e., outside of foggy, rainy
  post war england) and, for Le Carre, it has a happy ending.

  I recently saw the movie and it is even better than the book.  The movie
  is fast paced and suspenseful from the begining and does not let up until
  the credits appear at the end.  Diane Keaton was fantastic and Klaus Kinski
  was very good.  I can't do professional grade movie reviews, like Peter
  Reiher, so I will simply say that I recommend the movie highly.
