Dean Napolitano at Wall Street Journal culture blog "Speakeasy," highlights the excitement of the premiere of TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY, Tomas Alfredson's adaptation of John le Carré's ground-breaking 1974 novel, at the Venice Film Festival. Gary Oldman, who takes up the iconic role of George Smiley, gives all credit back to the source: ""We have this fabulous source material -- the book -- and it gives you all the subtext. It's like your roadmap...I really didn't work much outside of the book and the script. ... All that emotion and all those thoughts and feelings that are going on underneath were really all there -- in this great book."
