    Yes, it is Bernard Lee. He played 'M' in many of the Bond films and the father of Hayley Mills character in Whistle Down The Wind.

        Not familiar with any of these films, what about later films?

                            Harry Andrews it was. Agree about The Hill being a superb film. Ice Cold in Alex is another very good film. Both have wonderful casts at the top of their game. Sylvia Sims in Ice Cold in Alex--what a beauty she was.

                              I think it was 5. Ipcress File, Funeral in Berlin, Billion Dollar Brain, then 2 more in 80s/90s which I can't remember the names. Also recommend Deighton's novels of the first 3--very dour reads with nicely twisty plots.

                                Harry was a very under rated actor. Enjoyed him in both Ice Cold In Alex and the Hill.
