Michael Caine stars for the third time as Harry Palmer in this lusty spy thriller with a memorable icebound climax.
Ken Russell directs with extravagant gusto and among the villains are Karl Malden and Ed Begley, who clearly relishes his role as a mad general.
Another veteran in the cast is Oscar Homolka, that gruff character actor first seen in Palmer-land in Funeral in Berlin, a year earlier.
