Here was a British spy who had a working-class accent, horn-rimmed glasses, and above all really didn't want to be a spy in the first place. As portrayed by Michael Caine, Palmer was the perfect antithesis to Sean Connery's 007. Unlike the globetrotting spy's exotic locales, Palmer's beat is cold, rainy, and dreary London, where he spends his days and nights in unheated flats spying on subversives. He does charm one lady, but she's no Pussy Galore--just a civil servant he works with, sent to keep an eye on him. Eventually he's assigned to get to the bottom of the kidnapping and subsequent "brain draining" of a nuclear physicist, all the while being reminded by his superiors that it's this or prison. Things begin to get pretty hairy for Harry. Produced by Harry Saltzman in his time off from the James Bond series, the film also features a haunting score by another Bond veteran, composer John Barry. --Kristian St. Clair
