Red Joan Judy Dench as the elderly Joan, Sophie Cookson as the younger Joan who passed nuclear secrets to the Russians Another Cambridge story of the persuasive recruitment of young promising talent by Comintern. Tom Hughes as the chief corrupter, watch out for him in the future, a great performance I thought. A very good film based on an actual case. I have to confess I bought Joan's defence, that she was so horrified by the bombing of Japan that she wanted Russia to have the weapon as well as the west. I can see Truman using it against Russia in the late 40s and Ike using it against the Chinese in Korea but for the fact that Russia had it too.
