Customer Reviews

Our man Flint, Harry Palmer style

This story is not quite “The Ipcress File” (1965), but it has its moments. The catsup, oops, blood in those days was considerably thicker. We have Harry (Michael Caine) once again being recruited by Colonel Ross (Guy Doleman), with a promotion and a 300£ annual raise. But he has other ideas and soon opportunities to take part in a great political movement. Where there is chaos, there is profit. And as usual, you cannot tell the good guys from the bad or the idiots. The actors, as they are introduced in the story, are an added plus. The Russian Colonel Stok, Oscar Homolka, earlier played Dr. Prokosch in “Boys' Night Out” (1962). Who can look at Karl Malden and not think of “The Streets of San Francisco” (TV series) - Detective Lt. Mike Stone (120 episodes, 1972-1977). Of course, we cannot leave out Ed Begley, best known for the cult classic Wild in the Streets (1968). The movie is fast-paced. And somehow, in all the noise and bad tempers, Harry Palmer keeps his cool and is the voice of reason. So, does he get his raise?
