The 1966 version has Julie Christie. Mmmmmmm.

[Secret Agent Man]

Yup. Some real goodscenes with her. Stuff you can’t get from just reading the book.

The new version for Julie Christie's character is-- another female. I was worried. It's the Iranian girl from Star trek, Beyond:

The director for the new show is also Iranian. I guess she was a shoe-in.

Also the outstanding Austrian actor, Oskar Werner.

Werner acted in some really excellent films - Ship of Fools (nominated Best Actor), Jules and Jim (French - Directed by Francois Truffaut), The Spy Who Came In From The Cold (with Richard Burton and Claire Bloom).
