If the only locations are Liverpool and Croatia, Croatia is a very versatile country for contrasting scenery - it's doubled up so far (midway in ep 4) for West and East Berlin, Beirut, Helsinki and Finland forests, and a mid-Pacific tropical island. Also puzzling why they backdated it all to 1963 - the vehicle dates are all over the place, throughout the 1960s and maybe a couple even newer. But best moment was this in "Beirut" ... a speedboat with its own website. |

Croatia certainly has plenty of islands. https://filmingincroatia.hr/location/islands/ The novel was published in 1962. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_IPCRESS_File -- Last edit: 2022-03-11 01:31:23 |

Overall a comic-book style thriller - some clunky bits and an overblown plot - but it was a fun ride with some wryly amusing dialogue to paper over some of the hiccups. Rejects: Ep 1.01 - "West Berlin" interior Ep 1.01 - dossier photo of Beetle ... looks late 60s .... Ep 1.05 - stock footage of "US" freeway Other 60s stuff: I got the impression they enjoyed themselves inserting all these period references - nice bit of background CGI for 1963 "London" - the Post Office tower under construction (1961-64). Subtle tribute on billboard as well to "The Manchurian Candidate", which has a similar underlying plot theme to Ipcress File. - pedal car - cassette-like tape recorder/player used by US spy boss; lots of phones on a Minister's desk - cookbooks; caravan Planes for impdb (in order of appearance): No idea how well they may or may not match "1963" .... |
