 Harry Palmer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harry Palmer is a fictional secret agent who is the central character in a number of films based on three of the first four spy novels by Len Deighton.
The movie production team chose the name Harry Palmer because they wanted the character to have as dull and unglamorous a name as possible, to distance him from the prevalent stereotype of the flamboyant, swashbuckling secret agent exemplified by the James Bond movies.
In his memoirs, Michael Caine claimed that producer Harry Saltzman came up with the surname Palmer, whereupon Caine himself innocently remarked that Harry was a pretty dull name, only realizing his gaffe when he saw Saltzman's suspicious stare.

 BondMovies.com: Crew
Broccoli was a longtime fan of Ian Fleming's spy novels, but his big break came when he and his partner Harry Saltzman started Eon Productions Limited and convinced United Artists to put up $1 million for the 1962 film adaptation of Dr. No, his first installment in the 007 saga.
The decision was made for him when his first musical, EXPRESSO BONGO, became a West End hit and the offers started flowing in.
Based in Britain, Saltzman produced the well-received social dramas Look Back in Anger (1959) and Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1960) before embarking on the series that would make his fame (and fortune): the James Bond movies.

Born in Canada, Harry Saltzman was raised in the United States, where he began his film production career in the 1940s.

 MI6 :: The Man With The Golden Gun (1974)
Harry Saltzman had been keen to film Ian Fleming's less than memorable final Bond novel for some time, telling new boy Roger Moore that it would be the next in the series almost as soon as Moore started shooting Live and Let Die.
It soon became clear that Saltzman was in some financial difficulties, perhaps influencing his decision to bail out of the series at this point.
Saltzman went on to a number of entertainment industry business deals, including a failed attempt to buy Shepperton Studios and a more successful attempt to buy a controlling share in the theatrical company HM Tennant.

The Harry Palmer character is more down to earth and vulnerable than James Bond, so it is easier for blokes like myself to identify with him.

 AudioRevolution.com DVD Review of The Ipcress File
By the time three James Bond movies had been released, a kind of reaction against their cocky flamboyance had begun to set in, and "more realistic," vaguely anti-007 spy movies were made.
One of the first was based on Len Deighton's novel The Ipcress File; the movie was produced by Harry Saltzman, who, with Cubby Broccoli, also produced the Bond movies.
Furie balked at Saltzman's insistence on a fight scene, giving in only when he decided to shoot the fight at a distance, from inside a phone booth.

Saltzman had a hold on the rights but was unable to line up backers.
So, on a total budget of $900,000, Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman produced the classic that, although primitive by today s standards, defined a genre.
Connery landed the role after an interview with Broccoli and Saltzman, during which he refused point-blank to screen test (a daring move at that point in his career), and generally impressed the producers with the sheer animal magnetism with which he would stamp his portrayal of 007.

 Sean Connery's Feud with Cubby Broccoli
When the autograph hunters and the Bond film fanatics hurtled their way through the doors of the Odeon, Leicester Square on Sunday they were palpitating at the chance of seeing the actors who had translated Ian Fleming's cool hero to the screen.
George Lazenby couldn't make it out, but Pierce Brosnan, the latest Bond (and the one with the soft Irish burr), the very quietly-spoken Timothy Dalton, and the droll jokey Roger Moore obligingly turned up, posed for pictures and bathed in the warmth of the adoration.
They [Broccoli and Saltzman] would be sitting opposite each other at a table thinking, "That a******e has got my other £30 million." There was a conflict from the beginning.

 Ultimate AV: The Ipcress File Masterfully Preserved On DVD
Back when most espionage adventures were tongue-in-cheeky trifles, filled with comic-book villains and shag-a-delic babes, producer Harry Saltzman—a co-producer of the 007 franchise!—had the audacity to try something a bit more serious.
Michael Caine has been established as an above-the-title lead for so long, and has been so consistently terrific in movies good, bad, and indifferent, it's easy to forget that, back in 1965, it was exceedingly odd to encounter someone with his Cockney accent and pasty, unimposing physique as a movie hero.
The beauty part of his performance here is that, even when Harry Palmer comes across as a snide, almost prissy underachiever, Caine still manages to convey a fair amount of steely authority.
