Synopsis
A cocky, insubordinate sergeant may be just the man to crack a case nobody else can. Sidney J. Furie's "The Ipcress File," produced by Bond's Harry Saltzman and adapted from Len Deighton's best-selling novel, introduces Michael Caine as Harry Palmer, the role that made him a star. At the height of the Cold War, Palmer - an army sergeant with a shady past, pressed into service as a reluctant intelligence agent - is transferred to a new unit investigating the disappearance of top British scientists. They're being kidnapped and returned days later with their minds wiped clean. The only clue is a mysterious tape labeled "IPCRESS." With John Barry's moody score and Nigel Green and Guy Doleman as Palmer's enigmatic bosses, you'll see why it's still considered one of the great spy thrillers.
