Review of Billion Dollar Brain (1967) by Jonathan M — 16 Aug 2008
The Harry Palmer film with the biggest budget and one of the first films directed by the uneven Ken Russell. Oskar Homolka's funny Russian general is back and Caine's Palmer is also joined by Karl Malden as a corrupt opportunist and Ed Begley (Sr.
) as a right-wing fanatic who wants to invade and liberate the Soviet Union. The "million dollar brain" in question is Begley's super computer which was science fiction in 1967. Added into the plot are a series of murders, a beautiful double-agent, and the theft of biological materials from her majesty's germ warfare labs.
Very cool picture.
