Ellie recorded the Ipcress File for me even though I didn't realize it was playing on TCM. I am tempted to keel over joyfully. The last time I saw this was on a really old VHS tape from the library on the wobbly TV set from the 80's in my parents' room. I shall hopefully figure out how to make the DVD recorder work and make myself a copy.
I almost forgot how much I love John Barry's score for the film. The Ipcress File soundtrack is the only soundtrack for which I paid $40-and it was worth every penny. Then again, I got the Japanese rerelease so that the sound quality was cleaned up and I didn't get the awful dialogue bits that crop up on Ryko release. This is one of the few monothematic scores (OK, there really isn't such thing as a completely monothematic score, but whatever) that I really enjoy. One of these days I'll actually come up with a good review for it, once I actually pick up some jazz terminology.
I for one actually like the strange camera angles as well. Funnily enough, my dad has the same coffee-maker as Harry Palmer.
I need to get a time machine to go back to the 60's.
