You need to have a word with Wikipedia as their info will also be wrong. Thanks for the interest, do you like the art by the way? You could always use it in the book if you wish? Regards, Michael.

Producer Harry Saltzman met with Len Deighton to discuss the film rights of The Ipcress File prior to the opening of the first James Bond film Dr No, and nearly six weeks before the publication of the novel. Saltzman had received an advance copy of Ipcress from Deighton's agent Jonathan Clowes, and arranged to meet the new author at Pinewood Studios. After Deighton subsequently declined to adapt Ipcress for the screen himself, the producer hired him to prepare a draft screenplay of From Russia With Love, and in December 1962 flew the author and his wife to Turkey to scout locations. As you correctly stated, Deighton delivered a draft but it was not used, and nor was he credited. I am writing a major biography of Len Deighton, and offer a couple of corrections to your piece.
