One book ends, another one begins. Next up: #TheIPCRESSFile by #LenDeighton. Note the uppercase spelling of IPCRESS. It is correct, because it is an acronym, and that is how it appeared at the original publication. Detail is important.

#TheIpcressFile. Similar to the Epstein Files, except the Epstein Files aren’t available to see any and every weekend on the BBC. Tees by Sillytees.

I go through trying to make that connection every single time I watch #TheIpcressFile Maybe that will *finally* stick with me!

If you are enjoying #TheIpcressFile and want more gritty London working class espionage, I cannot recommend “Slow Horses” more highly. Oldman farts. ‘Nuff said. #tcmparty

Has anyone seen the Kino Lorber blu ray? #TheIpcressFile #TCMParty

Only a couple of years earlier, Nigel Green, who plays the drab, humorous, mediocre Dalby in #TheIpcressFile, played the flamboyant, shirtless Hercules in “Jason & the Argonauts.” #tcmparty

Fantastic description of why #TheIpcressFile looks so fantastic, with a hilarious anecdote about cinematographer Otto Heller. #tcmparty

Geez this is a crappy print of #TheIpcressFile. Shame. #TCMParty

I recall there was actually a Milton Bradley board game made of #TheIpcressFile. I think my parents bought it after seeing the movie. #TCMParty

I was thinking #TheIpcressFile looks more like a 1970s film than one from 1965

Looks like a standard definition copy that has been computer upscaled.
