Movie Reviews of The Ipcress File
Movie Review: A Treat for Bond Purists
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're a James Bond fanatic, you'll probably enjoy THE IPCRESS FILE. Not that there's any similarities between Ian Fleming's Bond and Len Deighton's nameless spy (given the name Harry Palmer during the filming by star Michael Caine), but rather that this tense and enjoyable thriller features the talents of at least five 007 alumni. There's co-producer Harry Saltzman, music composer extrodinaire John Barry, editor Peter Hunt, art director Ken Adam and production designer Peter Murton.
IPCRESS has all the elements of a good Hitchcock thriller, along with some of the suprise twists. John Barry delivers one of his best scores, and Michael Caine is joined by a superb supporitng cast, including Nigel Green, Gordon Jackson and Guy Doleman.
Summary of The Ipcress File
In the spy-crazed film world of the 1960s, Len Deighton's antihero Harry Palmer burst onto the scene as an antidote to the James Bond films. Here was a British spy who had a working-class accent and horn-rimmed glasses and above all really didn't want to be a spy in the first place. As portrayed by Michael Caine, Palmer was the perfect antithesis to Sean Connery's 007. Unlike that of his globetrotting spy cousin, Palmer's beat is cold, rainy, dreary London, where he spends his days and nights in unheated flats spying on subversives. He does charm one lady, but she's no Pussy Galore, just a civil servant he works with, sent to keep an eye on him. Eventually he's assigned to get to the bottom of the kidnapping and subsequent "brain draining" of a nuclear physicist, all the while being reminded by his superiors that it's this or prison. Things begin to get pretty hairy for Harry. Produced by Harry Saltzman in his spare time between Bond movies, the film also features a haunting score by another Bond veteran, composer John Barry. --Kristian St. ClairArt House & International DVD Video
