The most successful rival to the Bond franchise, Harry Palmer and his world of espionage scored by being the very antithesis of 007. The Ipcress File introduced Palmer as a down at heel MI6 agent operating in a very dowdy, unglamorous world of ...

Excellent panavision film with great suspence and International espionage scenes. You will surely love this film as its a series of short films by British actor Michael Caine. ...

The Billion Dollar Brain, The Ipcriss File and Funeral in Berlin form a trilogy of Harry Palmer films released in the late sixties and early seventies.
Secret agent Harry Palmer was author Len Deighton's answer to Ian Fleming's 007, but unlike Sean ...

Well Harry would mess have you caused now? Or more correctly how did you end up in this mess? Cool plot that really stretches it like walking on thin ice. ...

If you've read the other reviews, you know the plot. It's one of the most unusual spy movies you will ever see. Only the inimitable Ken Russell could have come up with the ending...it's not "shades of Alexander Nevsky, it IS Alexander Nevsky as adapted ...

Working class "spy" Harry Palmer, deftly portrayed by actor supreme Sir Michael Caine, returns in the third & final instalment of the original series of Len Deighton novels-to-film ("Bullet to Beijing" & "Midnight in St Petersburg" came almost three ...

The atmosphere of Harry Palmer films started off as rather down to earth in The Ipcress File and more so in Funeral in Berlin. For the third Palmer film, a campier tone was taken and we got The Billion Dollar Brain. However unlike the later day James ...

This story is not quite "The Ipcress File" (1965) but it has its moments. The catsup, oops blood in those days was considerable thicker.
We have Harry (Michael Caine) once again being recruited by Colonel Ross (Guy Doleman), with a promotion and a 300£ ...

As others have pointed out, the parallels to our current situation alone made this movie worth watching! I'm not sure if I should commend the film for being prescient or sad that it would come to be. (Life should not imitate art- especially when we're ...
