ABOUT
He was the son of a hereditary peer, one of the wealthiest men in Britain. His childhood was privileged; at Cambridge he flourished. At the age of 21 he founded The Film Society, and became a pioneering standard-bearer for film as art. Under the nose of MI5, who kept him under constant surveillance, he became a secret agent and a Soviet spy.
This is the remarkable story of Ivor Montagu, and of the burgeoning cinematic culture and left-wing politics of Britain between the wars. It is a story of restless energy and generosity of spirit; of creative achievement and intellectual corruption.
Includes monochrome images.
