Recently shown in the IFI, this is one of those old Carol Reed adaptations of a Graham Greene novel. This is about spies, so I was watching it for work reasons. Noel Coward recruits Alec Guinness into the spying game (chortlesomely, in a public toilet). Alec Guinness' character is not really cut out for the whole business of running sub-agents, so he starts to just make it all up. At first this all great gas, but then things become that little bit grimmer.
If you have ever seen it, what did you make of the whisky miniatures game of draughts? Would you like to give it a go sometime?

I would certainly like to play a whisky miniture game of draughts. They cost about £3 a pop though, so it'd be pretty expensive, unless we could negotiate some sort of bulk discount.
When you're a proper spy you can claim it back as expenses.
