Need to mention Funeral in Berlin and Billion Dollar Brain.

Done, I put them in the "See also" section. --Commander Keane 13:02, August 3, 2005 (UTC)

IMDB lists Bullet to Beijing and Midnight in St. Petersburg. as 1996 - this should change, yes?

Capitalisation error: the name of the film is the IPCRESS File, not the Ipcress File. IPCRESS is an acronym —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.96.102.152 (talk • contribs).

Yeeeessss... that would appear to be correct. And its what the book cover sez William M. Connolley 19:23, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

It may be worth mentioning that Deighton is said to have written The IPCRESS File in longhand in an exercise book during a vacation in France. Deighton subsequently acknowledged that the work was too terse: because of his inexperience, he expected readers to pick up and remember incidental comments or plot details. Even a number of re-readings will not necessarily explain the action satisfactorily .... Nevertheless, a striking debut in a distinctive style, still eminently readable and enjoyable.
