It’s my favorite. Just the passages alone where Jerry steals Drake Ko’s bank documents or Charlie Marshall barely makes the takeoff and then enjoys a drink in the cockpit with Jerry.
Reason for no film supposedly was cost of shooting on the Asian locations.
Well, Vietnam is accessible and cheap, now, I would think. If it gets the "Tinker, Tailor" quality treatment, great. I thought that "The Night Manager" series was botched and "Our Kind of Traitor" not really well-done. Carré's estate seems eager to film every book.
