Reilly, Ace of Spies is a 1983 television miniseries dramatizing the life of Sidney Reilly, a Russian Jew who became one of the greatest spies ever to work for the British.

Reviews

Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism
Dotbankey A lot of fun.
Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
