 DVD Savant Review: Funeral in Berlin
Harry's status as a reformed crook is also needed to understand the humor in his repeated use of the Berlin police as a 'hiring hall' for old criminal associates.
Eva Renzi's secret identity is more memorable than her acting but Paul Hubschmid makes a nice shifty Berlin contact and Oskar Homolka is both funny and charming as the duplicitous general, a role he was to repeat in the delightful third sequel, Ken Russell's Billion Dollar Brain.
Savant has to admit that he saw Funeral in Berlin new in 1966 and didn't understand a thing that was going on (but still loved it).

 Len Deighton: Funeral in Berlin
Because it is the main focus of the Bernard Samson novels, Berlin might appear to be something of an obsession with Deighton.
The plot of Funeral in Berlin is apparently the mirror image of The Ipcress File, with Palmer trying to arrange the reception for a Russian scientist defecting via West Berlin.
The setting of Berlin is atmospheric, more because it is full of nervous, posturing tough guys (both would-be and really tough); the descriptions are not as fully developed as they became in later years when Deighton's novels increased in length (Funeral in Berlin is less than half as long than Berlin Game, for instance).

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Funeral in Berlin
(Funeral arrived the same year as Alfie, which attracted everyone's compass needle.) He does for horned-rim glasses what Sean Connery did for Savile Row suits, although the insubordinate and world-weary Harry exists in a world more convincing and less gimmicky than Bond's adolescent-male Disneyland.
So it's worth noting that Funeral was directed by Guy Hamilton, who today is best known for his Bond work directing Goldfinger and Diamonds Are Forever.

 Comedy Central: Movies - Funeral in Berlin - Review
The mere fact that Paramount had made Funeral in Berlin indicated a new feeling in the land.
In contrast to the Bond movies, the story here was steeped in the minutiae of the Cold War, and it wasted no time in having fun at the expense of the official seriousness with which it was pursued and prosecuted.
This movie proved to be one of the more underrated thrillers of its period, and though most viewers shied away from its use of such plot devices as unrepentant Nazis and money stolen from Holocaust victims, those same attributes make it a movie not only worth discovering but also seeing again.

Caine is note perfect as Palmer, a realistic spy who has to rely on his wits to survive, while the story, based on the novel by Len Deighton, is a labyrinth of twists and double-crosses which could leave your wanting to watch the film again straight away.

 TechnoFILE Reviews "Funeral in Berlin" on DVD
In fact, there's very little action in "Funeral in Berlin," so if that's what you like in a spy flick you'd better look elsewhere.
The assignment takes him to both sides of the Berlin wall, from the flourishing West to the seedy and dilapidated East.
Rather than give away the reasonably complex plot, suffice it to say that things don't go as planned, and nothing appears to be as it appears to be.
