About The Spy Who Caught a Cold
Ten-year-old Clossie is having the worst holiday of her life – dragged to a seaside naturist resort by her fun-loving single mother. When Mum starts flirting with a fishmonger called Nick, there’s nothing for it but her to tail them with binoculars to try and unravel the adult mysteries of attraction.
Directed by Philippa Lowthorpe, The Spy Who Caught a Cold leans on a strong ensemble — Lesley Nightingale, James Larkin, Isabella Nightingale — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1995.
