Funeral in Berlin Movie Review 1966

Second of the Caine/Harry Palmer espionage films (following up "Ipcress File"), in which the deadpan antihero British secret serviceman arranges the questionable defection of a Russian colonel (Homolka). Good look at the spy biz and postwar Berlin. Based on the novel by Len Deighton. "Billion Dollar Brain" continues the series.
