The Ipcress File
The spy story of the century.
Directed by Sidney J. Furie
Produced by The Rank Organisation, Lowndes Productions Limited
A clever, paranoid Cold War spy thriller that deflates espionage mythology with dry wit and labyrinthine intrigue.
Sly and dry intelligence agent Harry Palmer is tasked with investigating British Intelligence security, and is soon enmeshed in a world of double-dealing, kidnap and murder when he finds a traitor operating at the heart of the secret service.
