The Ipcress File is... was very interesting, because it was not a Bond, at all. It was one of the first pictures from... from Michael Caine, and you know, we had a lot of problems with Cubby too... with Harry Saltzman, because he thought he wasn't going to make him... a sort of a poor man's Bond. And we all ganged up on him, and the director was Sid Furie, who's very talented, and said, 'You know, this is not a Bond, because Michael Caine is not a Bond type of character'. And we treated it completely differently. Did you ever see the picture? And we shot it all on location, except the one sequence with the brainwashing, and it was really a very good-looking film.

And if I remember rightly, and as a slight anecdote of it, I hope I'm right with this – I was nominated for two BAFTAs, one was for Goldfinger and the other one was for The Ipcress File. And, Cubby and Harry had taken a big table, you know, wherever it was I can't remember, and to everybody's surprise I won it for The Ipcress File, and Cubby wouldn't talk to me for... for several weeks afterwards, you know. But it was, it had a look to it, and considering that it was all shot on location… We had a wonderful old cameraman, Otto Heller, and a great operator and a very good director, who was Sid Furie... and Michael. You know, it was his second picture, or something like that, and he was brilliant in it. It worked, and we all had a lot of fun making it.
