BILLION DOLLAR BRAIN FLOPPED WHEN IT WAS RELEASED IN DECEMBER, 1967, BUT I THINK YOU AGREE IT HAS AGED VERY WELL, THE TECHNOLOGY USED IN THE FILM PARTICULARLY THE COMPUTER WERE YEARS AHEAD, MICHAEL CAINE IN A RECENT INTERVIEW, SAID IT WAS THE FIRST TIME HE USED THE INTERNET, SO THE INTERNET WAS INVENTED IN THE LATE 60S, OBVIOUSLY THE AMERICAN, AND POSSIBLY THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT WERE TO ONLY ONE TO HAVE ACCESS TO IT
Maurice Bender Charade opening...moving right out of the film into it's spinniing graphics, is one of the most ecstatic things I've ever seen in film. Along with Mancini's pulsing music...a gift from the gods. Note here how the turing tape discs are so similar to Charade's opening....but much easier to do....
These title credits are wonderful, as is the music.
The novel is one of my favorites by Deighton and might be his most literary work, full of beautiful writing. He is a very underrated writer as was Ian Fleming. I hope he has one more novel stashed away as a gift for us before or after he passes on. I know it's too much to hope for, but he was one of my favorite authors. His books for me, were all vivid and delicious, the way we would like life to be.
Thanks for another great title sequence from Maurice Binder, the man behind the best Bond 007 titles. Plus Richard Rodney Bennett's great theme. Loved this movie since 1968.

The crazy but interesting thing is, CERN still uses magnetic tape to this day. Most effective means of saving it's terabytes of data.
