Billion dollar brain

The 3rd and last Harry Palmer, this one directed by Ken Russell. Nice titles from Maurice Binder, the music is not by John Barry and awful. Most of the film is in icy Finland, and Palmer goes shopping at Stockmann. Apart from that, the plot is not very strong nor interesting, with a crazy Texas billionaire (who sounds just like George W) who has a small army and wants to destroy communism. Communism wins at the end! Only a couple of brief appearances by Colonel Ross, which is a shame.
