Secret agent Harry Palmer (Michael Caine) is blackmailed into working for MI5 again on his wildest - and most dangerous - assignment yet. An insane oil billionaire, intent on destroying Communism by starting a new world war, is close to achieving his goal with the help of the world’s largest, and most powerful, computer. Harry is the only man who may be able to stop him; but as he races from London to Finland to Latvia to Texas and back, he must determine who of his supposed allies is the one he can actually trust, a sexy Russian agent, Soviet colonel or an American mercenary.

Kult-Film

Written on 08. November 2010 by B-Line.
This customer review refers to a alternative version.

Nun, Kultfilme werden von der Masse gekürt, aber zu der Zeit gab es den Begriff noch nicht (1. Kultfilm? Rocky Horror Picture Show?). Dieser Anti-James Bond-Film ist ein ganz besonderer, optischer Leckerbissen, der sehr offensichtlich im Kalten Krieg spielt (und damit auch spielt). Dagegen sehen die James Bond-Filme aus der gleichen Zeit eher plump aus. Dieser Anti-James Bond-Film hat Charme, Witz, Geist und jede Menge Überraschungen parat. Kein Wunder, denn Ken Russell führte Regie. Ein «Ausgezeichnet» geb ich nur in ganz wenigen Fällen.
