I find it slightly ironic that while Saltzman wanted to make an 'Anti-Bond' Spy film, he used an awful lot of the Bond Crew along the way! As for the opening scene and that music, the only niggle I have is NOT the effing coffee (Guys, c'mon, who cares!), but the way Palmer tucks the gun into his waistband. Never happen in a million years, not by a Pro. He would have put the thing in his jacket pocket, with the safety ON! Although, if I'm getting niggly...an MI5 Officer would not routinely be carrying firearms anyway, especially while not on any operation, as Palmer was clearly not. I guess Saltzman thought the public needed a nudge....
The first time I watched The Ipcress File, I shouted at the TV...."I have that coffee grinder!" (although mine is orange with the brown plastic lid, that you push down to activate the blades inside....still use it as well.
I love all the comments about how bad the coffee would be. Quite right too. Four minutes of the movie should have been dedicated to watching him wait for the coffee to steep. Among all the obvious plaudits for this, a shout out for whoever was responsible for the lighting.
@00:47. Will he get that 240v socket fixed? Either the socket front plate isn’t screwed fully into to back box properly or the plasters crumbled around the dowel holding the back box screw in the wall. Anyway it’s anoying.🤪
