Alec Guinness And The Biggest Eyeglasses In The World: Yet More Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy Observations

Watching Alec Guinness quietly-yet-forcefully react to various catty declarations through Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is like a slow canoe ride down Bitchy River. It’s facial Tai Chi, as he ever-so-slowly slides from one moue to another, with eyeglasses like two moons hovering serenely over his big white bagpipe of a face.
