Billion Dollar Brain: Review

starstarstarstar
Directed by Ken Russell, this was the third film to star Michael Caine as Harry Palmer, spy novelist Len Deighton's reluctant hero. Having left government intelligence work, Palmer, now a private eye, accepts an assignment to deliver some mysterious "eggs" to Helsinki. There he meets Leo Newbegin (Malden), a one-time CIA agent who now works for General Midwinter (Begley), a wealthy Texan who is determined to stamp out international communism by using his private army to spark a revolution in Latvia that will spread throughout the USSR. British intelligence blackmails Palmer into joining the fray, and, in the process, he confronts his old Soviet nemesis, Colonel Stok (Homolka). Overly plotted and almost without humor, THE BILLION DOLLAR BRAIN (which takes its name from the computer Midwinter uses to plan his invasion) is not nearly as entertaining as its predecessors in the Harry Palmer trilogy, THE IPCRESS FILE and FUNERAL IN BERLIN. Sadly, this was Francoise Dorleac's last movie before her fatal car crash. leave a comment
