This is a video of Kim Philby, who at the time of this video was accused of being a spy for the Soviet Union. The "Third Man" refers to a person believed to have tipped off two other British spies so that they escaped arrest by defecting to the USSR.
Watch for the micro-expressions appearing after Philby answers two questions.
Fascinating! I would be interested to see some tape of Philby in other situations to see his neutral face. Still, there were at lot of his replies in that interview where he DIDN'T smirk while speaking, so it's not unreasonable to interpret the smile as something other than nervousness. He definately looked like the cat who ate the canary, didn't he...
