The Little Drummer Girl was released as a motion picture in 1984. It was produced by Robert L. Crawford and directed by George Roy Hill, with a screenplay by Loring Mandel. Diane Keaton played the main character. The motion picture is a valiant attempt to capture the complexities of le Carre's novel, but it fails to flesh out its characters.
