Its taken me a long while to get round to watching this thriller from 1965 starring Michael Caine. Its not a bad movie although its certainly a 60s film. It made me [Smile] watching all those British cars on the road, now thought of as classics and brought back memories of working on them in the late 60s [Eek!]

Good cast, almost straight from Zulu [Smile] and well worth getting it on Blu-ray its a bit of nostalgia worth watching.

Graham.

PS. Oh! John Barry score really adds to it.

John Barry's scores are so identifiable. The french horns and baritones identify his music. What a composer. I can close my eyes and listen to a soundtrack and klnow it is his.

One of the amusing things about this movie is when Michael Caine is captured by the baddies and is put into a box chamber to be brainwashed. The image doing all this brainwashing is from a B/H 16mm creating all those weird images [Roll Eyes]

It does go to show the effect film projectors can have on people, this forum is a good example of that [Big Grin] and yes I include myself [Smile]
