The two separate, but the authorities are now anxious to arrest them for murder.

As they trace her identity, her brother identifies her as music student, Sapphire Robbins.

When it is discovered that she was three months pregnant, it becomes clear that she was living a double life.

The ipcress file (1965): Based on Len Deighton's best-selling novel, the realistic fast-paced story of espionage and counter-espionage centres on Harry Palmer, an intelligence agent assigned to investigate fears over British security.
