As the 1965 trailer rightly proclaims, Sir Michael Caine 'walks straight into sensational stardom' with his first on-screen appearance as Harry Palmer. The eponymous spy is tasked with investigating the kidnapping and brainwashing of British scientists, a fate he ultimately suffers and struggles against. The connecting creative elements between the Harry Palmer and James Bond films are well known, sharing the same composer (John Barry), production designer (Ken Adam), and producer (Harry Saltzman). The Ipcress File also reunites Sir Michael with fellow Zulu alumni Nigel Green and Glynn Edwards.
