Synopsis

The Tailor of Panama (2001) is John Boorman's spy thriller you can watch online on iFILM. British agent Andy Osnard gets exiled to Panama after one affair too many, and there he finds the perfect informant — a local tailor.

Harry Pendel cuts suits for everyone who matters in Panama and overhears more at a fitting than any ambassador ever could. Osnard reels him in with old debts and a buried past, and Pendel starts feeding him intelligence about the future of the Canal. The catch: half of it he invents on the spot to keep the money flowing. Pierce Brosnan plays the cynical spy, Geoffrey Rush the fabulist tailor, Jamie Lee Curtis his wife, with a young Daniel Radcliffe turning up along the way.

John le Carré adapted his own novel for the screen, bending the spy story into sharp satire about an intelligence machine happy to believe a liar if it justifies an invasion. Stream The Tailor of Panama (2001) online on iFILM.
