“u0026quot;The Ipcress Fileu0026quot; introduced us to Harry Palmer, the anti-James Bond. This movie is even better than the first. Both are based on novels by Len Deighton, who rivals John LeCarre as the most sophisticated thoughtful spy novelists. Michael Caineu0026#39;s Palmer has a cockney accent, avoids fights, canu0026#39;t afford the finer things in life, has no fancy cars or technological gimmicks. What he has is the brain to figure whou0026#39;s triple crossing all the double crossers in Cold War Berlinu0026#39;s espionage underground. It helps that all the other characters underestimate him. This movie is sharp, intelligent, and unsentimental. It ranks with the very best spy movies ever made. Outstanding.”
