- Genius Bonus: At the beginning of the film, Control signs a document simply as "C" in green ink. This was a noted quirk of Captain Sir Mansfield Smith-Cummingnote , the first chief of the Secret Intelligence Service, that has been taken up by each of his successors (who also take on "C" as a moniker when in the rolenote ) and the film's oblique acknowledgement that the Circus is really MI-6, something John le Carré always danced around.
