The Holcroft Covenant and The Osterman Weekend

Robert Ludlum was a prolific author of primarily Cold War espionage thrillers, and so in a way it's surprising that so few of his works made their way into cinema screens, and the vast bulk of those were part of the The Jason Bourne Imbroglio. In this episode, for no real reason other than a fondness for espionage bunkum and baroque titling, we are skipping over the various TV miniseries and taking a look at two earlier adaptations, 1983's The Osterman Weekend and 1985's The Holcroft Covenant.
