John LeCarre on tv

I remember reading a short story by LeCarre(PLAYBOY?) sometime in the 60's which was adapted for television on ABC'S STAGE 67, but I don't remember the title. The great James Mason lives in West Berlin and learns his hated father Hugh Griffith has just died and had wanted to be buried in West Berlin.
The story has a great twist ending, but I have never seen nor heard of the film since.

The movie was "Dare I Weep, Dare I Mourn" and the original story was published in "The Saturday Evening Post" January 28, 1967. I do not know if it was also in "Playboy".

Thanks. After almost 40 years memory does play tricks. I still remember seeing a tv adaptation with James Mason and Hugh Griffith which is not included in LeCarre's credits.
