Customer Reviews

The continuing saga of Harry Palmer (Michael Caine)

One of the neat things about the movie is that all the major 1966 places are mentioned and in the right place. You feel that you are there. I always wanted to see several things from the 60s in the East and the West. Now it is too late for many places and things. I almost got to see it as I planned for an R&R there, but plans changed at the last minute. No one is who or what they seem on either side, and a few with agendas of their own; this adds to the confusion or convolution of the movie. Harry, alias Edmund Dorf, is sent to Berlin to arrange passage for a Russian defector. Harry knows there is something funny, but has no idea what it is. Will he find out too late? And will he ever get his 800£ loan to buy a car? We get a view of Checkpoint Charlie, Kreuzberg, Berlin, Germany, a piece of history. There is a handful of other famous sights in the movie. Too bad they did not include the Pergamon Museum.
