Review of The Ipcress File (1965) by Timothy M — 30 Sep 2010
Good fun. Almost a halfway-world between Bond and le Carre. Caine is great, but I think the standout of the film is Nigel Green - I've always found him entertaining, and this was a particularly meaty role.
Furie's direction is a little inconsistent - sometimes the unorthodox framing is quite interesting and effective - at other times it's just overwhelming and distracting. John Barry's score is great - generally a dead certainty, it seems.
