The Little Drummer Girl

The problem was the bombing of Jews in Europe by Palestinian terrorists. The plot was about a plan by the Israeli intelligence people to locate the mastermind behind recent bombings, which involved the recruitment of a politically active English actress who was given an acting role as an agent. She was to pretend to be a follower of his who was in love with him. The plan was successful; the big guy was identified and located by the agent. He realized her true role at the last moment, but then it was too late, as her employers broke in and shot him to death.

An interesting thing about the plot is that the star wasn’t a trained agent but a rootless actress. Rather than acting on stage this time, she was acting “in the theater of the real.”
