I just watched!
The Whistle Blower is a 1986 British spy thriller film directed by Simon Langton and starring Michael Caine, James Fox, Nigel Havers, Felicity Dean, John Gielgud, Kenneth Colley, Gordon Jackson, David Langton, and Barry Foster. It is based on the 1984 novel of the same name by John Hale.
Phone taps, Russian agents, CIA, spies, and lies....
The film digs into an examination of the British establishment which is disturbing and ugly, and makes Frank question his view of the country he loves. There are strong echoes of the Anthony Blunt case and the Cambridge spies. Frank, discreetly pursued by British Intelligence, finds men who easily consider others expendable if their ideas of class and privilege are endangered.
Some lines in this movie are as accurate now as they were in 1980s. WOW! See it!
