Plot In The Tailor of Panama, Andy Osnard (Pierce Brosnan) is a MI-6 spy exiled to Panama after having an affair with an ambassador’s mistress and trusts he can uncover something big that will get him back into London’s good graces. Believing Panama is still corrupt after General Noriega’s reign and as the Americans have given the Panama Canal back to Panama, if he can find out where the true balance of power surrounding the canal is, London will want him back.

His informant is a tailor, Harry Pendel (Geoffrey Rush) whose wife, Louisa (Jamie Lee Curtis) is the assistant to the Canal director. Harry is in need of money and doesn’t have the business sense to ask his customers for the money to pay for their suits. Osnard asks Harry to spy on his wife to find out what the President plans on doing with the canal, and his economic anguish will vanish. Pendel agrees and is spinning stories to keep the money flowing. Osnard is so set on finding a way out of Panama that he is blind to the fact that Pendel is lying.[citation needed] Geoffrey Roy Rush (born 6 July 1951) is an Academy Award- and Emmy Award-winning Australian actor. ...

Differences from the Novel There are many differences between the novel and the film, most significant being the issue of the Canal. The novel is set in the mid-1990's prior to the hand-over of the Canal to the Panamanian Government from the United States. In the film, this has already happened and the plot is changed to reflect that. In addition to the difference there is also significantly more character development in each of the characters, though specifically Osnard, Pendel, and Mickie. Much more is known about Pendel's past and his relationships with Marta and Mickie. The background of Andrew "Andy" Osnard is also changed. In the film he is seen as a semi-washed up foreign services officer who is given a posting in Panama so he will not be able to cause any trouble and so that he may redeem himself in some way. In the novel he is seen as a younger man who is hoping for that big break which will get him the posting of his choice. He sees Pendel as this big break.
