Incubated version

There is a previous version of this article at Wikipedia:Article Incubator/Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (film). I think we should try to get it restored, but I'm not sure which way to do it, with merged article histories etc. Also I have no idea how to get it done in the first place, should I post at some requested-moves page? I've added an "evaluate" tag to the article which adds it to some category that I fear nobody ever checks, so maybe something more is needed. Smetanahue (talk) 05:20, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done History-merged the incubator version. JohnCD (talk) 10:54, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

French film?

The cast is British, the director is Swedish, the writers are British, only the money is French. I don't think this counts as a French film. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.149.149.3 (talk) 18:11, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since the film does not have a distinct national identity, I will change it to "English-language". Erik (talk | contribs) 18:15, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Smells as dodgy as some French cheeses to me (And I've eaten the good, the bad and the ugly of those) - sure, some if not -all- of the money for this film came from France, but that does not make it a French film. Look at Avatar, no one would think for a second it has British connections, but it does, but it's certainly undue weight if it's added to the infobox below American. TTSS is undoubtedly a British English-Language film and any French connections are minor. --Τασουλα (Almira) (talk) 19:11, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Detailed plot

Please could somebody add a detailed plot? This film is quite complex and I imagine there'll be droves of people hoping for good ol' Wikipedia to explain it to them. Crazy Eddy (talk) 19:47, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have made a start. Jezhotwells (talk) 23:47, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Gay or straight

"Peter Guillam is gay in the film, but homosexual in the film," — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.71.22.208 (talk) 17:10, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A mistake that has been corrected. Jezhotwells (talk) 23:17, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Variations from the novel

In the novel, Tarr was sent to Hong Kong, not Lisbon. The mini-series starring Sir Alec Guinness had Tarr sent on a mission to Lisbon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gestroud (talk • contribs) 04:00, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That might be relevant in an article on the mini-series, if one was created, but this article is about the film. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:48, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of cited information

I have reverted edits by User:94.5.94.52 who repeatedly removes correctly cited information. Just because cites are not on-line does not make them invalid. Jezhotwells (talk) 00:58, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
