Billion
Dollar Brain
Film
/ 1967 / MGM/UA / 111 min. For
BILLION DOLLAR BRAIN, producer Harry
Saltzman turned to up-and-coming
British director Ken Russell - and
wound up with the most wildly
surreal, and strangely poetic, film
in the Harry Palmer series. Michael
Caine finds himself wrapped in fur,
roaming around the Scandinavian
tundra with gorgeous, enigmatic
Francoise Dorleac (Catherine
Deneuve's sister, who died at a
tragically young age), while they
try to foil the megalomaniac plans
of American general Ed Begley
(giving one of the most deranged
performances of the decade.)
