How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sleek 1960s spy romp that trades realism for stylish fun, spinning academic expertise into globe-trotting adventure with a woman whose loyalties keep you guessing. It's designed to be enjoyed lightly, the kind of film that charms you with its surface sophistication rather than asking you to take anything seriously.
