It's a common complaint against TQM that George Segal was miscast as Quiller. I knew this when I rented the film, but it is worse than I thought. I'm a huge fan of the Quiller novels (this is the first and only to be filmed). The character seems completely naked without any of the almost non-stop interior monologue of the novel(s). I realize that movies can't always use the same tricks as books, but there seems to be no interest in bringing the actual character to life. What a shame, because Quiller is one of the great characters in all of spy fiction.
