Ipcress File DVD
Added 12/23/2009
Michael Caine has a cult following almost for this DVD and the other two that go with it.
I enjoyed it and then sold it on the Internet.

The good old days of deception and brainwashing. The zenith of the obscure and analytical secret services of the eastern block.
His name is Harry Palmer: he's cocky, defiant and effective. He thinks he has one mission; actually he has two.

A Superb Spy Thriller
Added 7/14/2009
There are very few movies that are better than the books they were based on. This is one of them.
This is the story of Harry Palmer, lover of gourmet food and classical music, a former British soldier released from prison in exchange for serving his country in undercover operations. Transferred to a new department, he and his fellows must find out who is kidnapping British scientists and rendering them unable to do any further work. As he doggedly pursues the truth, tries to avoid getting caught in the conflict between his old and new boss, and wonders just who is working for whom, things become more and more confused and dangerous -- until the day when he finds out the very hard way just what the bad guys are doing to the scientists.
An excellent performance by Michael Caine, good supporting actors, fine black and white cinematography, and a good score rounds it all out. Don't let the fact that this is imported from Russia throw you. It plays fine on my Region 1 DVD player, and it has the original English soundtrack, as well as a soundtrack dubbed in Russian. So get it, and enjoy.

spy story thriller

Michael Caine's Harry Palmer is insolent and effective and anti-establishment and a good cook. What a combination. It certainly works for this cold war thriller.

Michael Caine performs an outstanding role in this drama, as usual! The story keeps the viewer guessing how it will end. Great film!
