The Ipcress File

The Ipcress File was the first spy novel by Len Deighton, published in 1962.

It was made into a film in 1965 produced by Harry Saltzman[?] and directed by Sidney J. Furie[?] starring Michael Caine as "Harry Palmer".

The Ipcress File was a downbeat alternative to the James Bond movies, which were being made at the same time. Three members of the production team -- the producer Harry Saltzman, film editor[?] Peter Hunt[?] and the composer John Barry -- also worked on the Bond movies.

The plot involves mind control: the acronym IPCRESS stands for "Induction of Psycho-neuroses by Conditioned Reflex with streSS".

The soundtrack music[?] by John Barry is excellent, and complements the action on screen superbly.
