Wrap up warm and fight off a cold with our episode on Stvene Spielberg’s Cold War drama BRIDGE OF SPIES, released in 2015 with a script by Matt Charman and the Coen Brothers. The film charts the extraordinary true story of insurance lawyer James Donavan (played by Tom Hanks), who is charged with defending a captured Soviet spy (Mark Rylance), which leads to him become a key figure in the negotiations for a ‘spy swap’ in the early 60s. To dive into Spielberg’s murky world of espionage, government bureaucracy and one man’s struggle to uphold American values we invite back Ramblin's resident bridge expert Rob Yeomans - line producer and co-host of the CineMortuary Podcast - to take the journey to East Germany with us in the hope of some successful negotiations.
