Reilly: Ace of Spies (1983)
The amazing true story of the world's first international super spy
Reilly, Ace of Spies is a 1983 television miniseries dramatizing the life of Sidney Reilly, a Russian Jew who became one of the greatest spies ever to work for the British.

His reputation with women was as legendary as his genius for espionage.
