The Last Spy (virtual)
Aged 100 years old at the time of the interviews in the film but still sharp as a tack, Sichel recounts his years as a CIA spymaster in Berlin, Washington, and Hong Kong with a frank directness and a gleefully wicked sense of humour. As a German-Jewish man who fled Europe with his family before World War II broke out and worked as a covert operative during the early days of the Cold War, Sichel’s wisdom and insight into today’s global conflicts carry significant weight.
WHY WE LIKE THIS FILM: James Bond is a fictional character, but Peter Sichel, the ”Jewish James Bond,” was a very real person with an absolutely extraordinary life. A centenarian at the time of filming, Sichel recounts tales of intrigue and espionage during most of the latter part of the 20th Century. It”s riveting!
