Funeral in Berlin is a 1966 film based on the spy novel by Len Deighton. It also is the second of three films following the characters from the initial film, The IPCRESS File; the third, Billion-Dollar Brain, arguably is questionable in its approach to espionage.
A colonel responsible for security on the East side of the Berlin Wall asks the British for help in defecting. Contradictory evidence leads the officer tasked with the defection to be suspicious.
The score for Funeral In Berlin was by John Barry.
In the 1990s, Michael Caine returned to his Harry Palmer role in Bullet to Beijing and Midnight in St. Petersburg.
