Customer Reviews: HARRY IS BACK May 31, 2009 DICK BARTON (SLEAFORD LINCS.ENGLAND) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful HARRY PALMER IS NOW A MIDDLE AGED PRIVATE AGENT,WHO GOES ON A MISSION TO RUSSIA . HERE HE MEETS RUSSIAN AGENT JASON CONNERY,WHO ASSISTS HIM TO GET OUT OF ALL KINDS OF TIGHT SCRAPES. THE SECOND FILM "BULLET TO BEIJING" IS MORE OR LESS A FOLLOW ON FROM THE FIRST FILM,WITH THE SAME MAIN CAST. AN ENJOYABLE DOUBLE FEATURE FOR HARRY PALMER FANS,AND A GOOD ENDING TO THE SERIES WHICH STARTED WITH "THE IPCRESS FILE" MANY YEARS AGO. Corny but entertaining September 6, 2009 DGNB 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I enjoy watching Micheal Caine and as Harry Palmer he is the old spy who now works freelance in Russia. I bought the double bill flims and enjoyed them. They are more or less light entertainment and in fairness to young Connery he has several attempts to speak Russian during both films. My one piece of advice is watch Bullet to Beijing first and then Midnight in St. Petersburg. If you've been to St.Petersburg then it's great to see the tourist spots in this film. Spectacularly laclustre August 26, 2009 David Cristol (Toulouse, France) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful This double bill is really none too good. Ask Michael Caine about it, I think he'll agree. The films suffer from rather poor production values, which is sort of a problem for this type of picture which presents itself as packed with thrills and action. Well, it's a Harry Alan Towers picture, if you know what that means in terms of what you end up with! More like a Jess Franco movie than a James Bond venture, that is. Action and spy films have been bigger and better since these were made anyway. The acting is uniformly bad, except for vet Brits Caine and Gambon. But even Caine is not at his best here, and how could he? It's watchable if you like these actors, though. But it's also very boring to follow. As to the DVD on display here, it doesn't have French subtitles, so this set is only for the English-speaking buyers out there. My advice: don't waste your time and money on this, except if you're a die-hard Michael Caine fan like me...
