[QUOTE="James from London, post: 147670, member: 22"] [IMG]http://www.astortheatre.net.au/wp-content/uploads/IPCRESS-FILE.jpg[/IMG] I hadn't seen this in so long I'd pretty much forgotten everything about it. It's got 007's fingerprints all over it, from Ken Adam's design to John Barry's score, but it's a very different kind of 60s spy flick -- there's a lot more Whitehall pen-pushing than there is international jet-setting.
