a terrific spy thriller

5 von 5 Punkten
Directed by Sindney Furie, this terrific thriller has one of Michael Caine's most memorable performances, and a sensational score by John Barry.
Caine's Harry Palmer is a marvelous character...an anti-Bond...a guy in a dull job who suddenly finds himself in extraordinary circumstances.
He has his quirks...he rebels against authority, has his sharp wit, his gourmet food, and "that look" behind the horn rimmed glasses.
The plot revolves around a "brain drain" of scientists in England, and has spies, the CIA, and all the usual suspects...which in this case, are a little harder to predict.
With brilliant writing (Bill Canaway and James Doran), superb cinematography (Otto Heller), and some good character actors (I love Alice the office lady...she's an anti-Ms. Monneypenny !) this is a film that will keep you interested for many viewings...suspenseful, amusing, and you'll just be wild about Harry.

Harry Palmer - der stillere James Bond

4 von 5 Punkten
In England war es für Sir Michael Caine seinerzeit der große Durchbruch: die Harry-Palmer-Reihe.
Mit Ipcress-File (in Deutschland erschienen als "Ipcress") startete diese spannende Serie, die einen etwas stilleren und sachlicheren Helden hat als die damals so beliebten James Bond-Filme.
Michael Caine überzeugt durch seine britisch-konservative Art des Geheimagenten, jedoch ist Ipcress-File erheblich näher an der Realität als die Bond-Reihe.
Ein spannender Film, der in der englischen Originalversion auch für das Ohr etwas zu bieten hat.
