From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As I recall, Smiley personally killed the bad guy at the end of the very first LeCarre novel, written long before he became famous.Hayford Peirce 23:00, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Smiley/Guiness
If I recall correctly, in interviews on the Smiley DVDs Le Carré said that Alex Guiness essentially took the character over - that his portrayal of Smiley was so good that Le Carré himself started writing the character (in later books) to reflect the Guiness version of Smiley.
I believe that he said that that was part of the reason that he didn't didn't use the character in later years as much as he'd originally planned. PMaranci 17:26, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
