What is a Spy?

A spy movie is a spy movie right? Wrong. Although extremely brief in his article about what constitutes a spy film, this professor of history from the University of Toronto, shows us, through the movies Dr. No (1962) and Spy who came in from the Cold (1965) that spy movies will generally take on one of two different types. Each of those movies represents a different type. Also, this link below is a video clip from the Spy who came in from the Cold which shows us how a spy in this type of spy film describes himself.
