Better than Bond? Harry Palmer. Anyone else here a fan of Michael Caine's portrayal?

"Ipcress File," "Funeral in Berlin," "Billion Dollar Brain:" a trio of films all based on Len Deighton's pretty good spy series.
"Billion Dollar Brain is a 1967 British espionage film directed by Ken Russell and based on the novel of the same name by Len Deighton. The film features Michael Caine as secret agent Harry Palmer, the anti-hero protagonist. The "brain" of the title is a sophisticated computer[2] with which an ultra-right-wing organisation controls its worldwide anti-Soviet spy network.

Billion Dollar Brain is the third of the Harry Palmer film series, preceded by The Ipcress File (1965) and Funeral in Berlin (1966). It is the only film in which Ken Russell worked as a mainstream 'director-for-hire', and the last film to feature actress Fran�oise Dorl�ac.

A fourth film in the series, an adaptation of Horse Under Water, also to be released by United Artists, was tentatively planned[3] but never made. However, Caine played Palmer in two later films, Bullet to Beijing and Midnight in Saint Petersburg."
