Review of The Ipcress File (1965) by Mark O — 04 Dec 2008

Came in a free newspaper pack with Brief Encounter, and I can say, this one was much more interesting... if a little standard.

Michael Cane looking rather young as a roguish special investigator, who finds himself uncovering brainwashing technology and a deep seeded conspiracy.

It has twists, but nothing too drastic, you can see when the plot shifts the gears and sends you down the wrong tracks to make the twist at the end more compelling. Not a bad film, goes at a steady pace of intrigue and has a satisfying conclusion.
