Anya's Theme - Billion Dollar Brain

The Bafta winning and multi-Oscar nominated British composer Richard Rodney Bennett created a suitably eerie soundtrack for this 1967 Ken Russell take on the harry palmer spy franchise. In this - the third installment in the harry palmer series - michael caine finds himself in the icy wastes of finland, caught up in the machinations of a deranged ant-communist texan billionaire General Midwinter (played superbly by Ed Begley) intent upon destroying the soviet union by invading latvia with his huge private army.

The Soviets are out to foil Midwinter's crazy plans however in the shape of the beautiful - and deadly- spy 'Anya', played by Francois Dorleac, who's last movie this would be before her tragic death only a month later in a car accident .
