In 1951, Blunt sells out his country by helping turncoat British spy Donald MacLean (Michael McStay) escape to Moscow. Blunt's stake in all this intrigue is personal: he is the former gay lover of MacLean's partner in espionage, the notorious Guy Burgess (Anthony Hopkins). The revelation of Blunt's role as the "fourth man" in Britain's most famous modern spy scandal is not made public until 1979. Blunt: The Fourth Man was first telecast in the US over the A&E cable network on July 24, 1987. Hal Erickson, Rovi

Very entertaining tv film made before Hopkins did Silence of the Lambs. He is excellent as Guy Burgess, 'notorious' spy, and the costumes, hair styles, the London of the 50's ... great to view on a slow afternoon. The other actors are all good, particularly Michael Williams as Gononwy Rees, a conflicted character who hates keeping secrets from his wife but who has a history of espionage.
