The first three -- ''Film/TheIpcressFile'', ''Film/FuneralInBerlin'', and ''Billion Dollar Brain'' -- were released in the 1960s, during the height of the Creator/SeanConnery Film/JamesBond films, and offer a grimmer alternative to the increasingly [[TuxedoAndMartini flashy espionage]] of Bond. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this is that they were actually produced by Bond producer Harry Saltzman, who recruited much of the Bond films' ProductionPosse to essentially make his own "realistic" spy series in-house. Caine returned to the role thirty years later for two more films, ''Bullet to Beijing'' and ''Midnight in Saint Petersburg''.
