The Ipcress File
SPY THRILLER Author Len Deighton ditched the suave 007 image of the British secret service and came up with something far less flashy with Michael Caine’s cockney Harry Palmer. This first screen adventure for Palmer, who investigates a sinister brain-drain of scientists, is terrific and gave Caine a global reach. Dir: Sidney J Furie 1965, PG, 105min
