The Ipcress File''The Ipcress File'' was the first spy novel by Len Deighton, published in 1962. It was made into a film in 1965 produced by Harry Saltzman and directed by Sidney J. Furie, starring Michael Caine as Harry Palmer. ''The Ipcress File'' was a downbeat alternative to the James Bond movies, which were being made at the same time. Three members of the production team -- the producer Harry Saltzman, film editor Peter Hunt and the composer John Barry (composer) -- also worked on the Bond movies. The plot involves mind control: the acronym IPCRESS stands for "Induction of Psycho-neuroses by Conditioned Reflex under StresS". Along the way we visit an atoll for a US atomic bomb test and learn about Joe One. In common with several of his other early novels, the chapter headings have a "feature". In ''The Ipcress File'' these take the form of each chapter being headed with a quote from a horoscope, which relates to the action in the chapter, though vaguely, as in most horoscopes. The soundtrack music is by John Barry - also responsible for many other soundtracks including a large number of James Bond films. The movie had two immediate sequels: : the 2nd film was Funeral in Berlin : the 3rd film Billion Dollar Brain In 1997, Michael Caine returned to his Harry Palmer role in ''[http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0113633/ Bullet to Beijing]'' and ''[http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0113634/ Midnight in St. Petersburg]''.
