Cinema's best British secret agent?

[captainhaddock]

Christopher Plummer as Eddie Chapman in Triple Cross .



He offered to blow Hitler up in a suicide mission, gave the German false information so that many V-1 and V-2 rockets didn't land in London, kept two fiancees on opposing sides of the conflict and received a yacht from the Nazis!



And best of all, he's From Real Life...

thank god i'm a celebrity was cancelled last night otherwise the household would have had that on and i wouldnt have seen the excellent documentary on eddie chapmans life that was on bbc2 at 9pm .

ive ordered the book agent zig zag on the strength of it and will have to watch triple cross one day soon as well !

I suspect that all the best British spies were working for the other side........

Leslie Howard as Professor Horatio Smith in Pimpernel Smith.

He doesn't need to do any tough guy act. He just outwits them by hiding in the wardrobe

Not an agent working for the Government. An amateur, private individual.

Pretty darn fab though!

First choice: Bond.

Then, Major Smith from Where Eagles Dare.

Harry Palmer, close third.
