Producer Harry Saltzman takes newly-minted superstar Michael Caine back for a third dip into the Harry Palmer well, and the results are not great.  In fact, the movie’s performance with audiences and critics are so bad that Caine convinces Saltzman to release him from the planned five movie contract. 
It’s the tradecraft that we are most interested in though, and Tod and Dave get into it like we always do.
Please look forward to our continued week-by-week discussion of the new IPCRESS File television miniseries, followed by our final ‘Palmerfest’ contribution in which we will tackle the final Palmer film, Midnight in St. Petersburg (1996).  
Next television series and next movie have not yet been decided, so if there is something you want us to cover, now is a great time to chime in.  You can do so at:
