This is the
unofficial Harry Palmer movie site. The Harry Palmer movies belong to the
"serious spymovies". Len Deighton wrote the novels, but
Harry Saltzman (who was also one of the the producers of James
Bond) and his team made the name. "Harry Palmer is the
thinking man's James Bond", they said... Michael Caine
starred as the "clever Cockney", the spy who wasn't as
glamorous as 007, but was certainly more realistic. The first
three movies, The Ipcress File, Funeral in Berlin and Billion
Dollar Brain, were stylishly made by Saltzman and his team in the
Sixties. Much later, two were made in 1995, Bullet to Beijing and
Midnight in St. Petersburg. Unfortunately these missed everything
that made their predecessors so successful, except for Michael
Caine, who had become older but was still a superpersonality on
screen.

Very rare 'making of' documentary about Billion Dollar Brain! Check out this very rare1967 making of documentary about Billion Dollar Brain. The featurette has been transferred in black&white unfortunately, because the original 16 mm film had become too red to make good viewing. Enjoy! 'Caine Below Zero' |
