About The Looking Glass War
When a Polish sailor jumps ship in Britain, a couple of local intelligence operatives keep him under surveillance. Soon, he’s recruited to infiltrate a missile installation outside of East Berlin and bring back photos of the new rockets.
Directed by Frank Pierson, The Looking Glass War leans on a strong ensemble — Christopher Jones, Pia Degermark, Ralph Richardson — 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 action titles of 1970.
