The Courier (12A)
Bridport Electric Palace
UNTIL Saturday 16th October
It's the early Sixties and Greville Wynne (Benedict Cumberbatch) is an English salesman. He's also helping MI6 and the CIA to spy on the Russians.
His flaws make him perfect for the job. Greville is not quite as dim as he pretends to be, but he's definitely not over-endowed with brains. Think of him as a dumb Bond.
Greville Wynne was a real-life figure and this film's mission is to show how he evolved into a genuine hero, thanks to his friendship with wise, brave and poetic Russian mole Oleg Penkovsky (Georgian actor Merab Ninidze).
