The Internecine Project is a 1974 British espionage thriller film directed by Ken Hughes and starring James Coburn and Lee Grant. It was written by Barry Levinson and Jonathan Lynn based on the novel Internecine by Mort W. Elkind.

Production

The film was made by British Lion Films, then run by Michael Deeley and Barry Spikings. Deeley wrote in his memoirs that it and another movie, Who? were financed the same way: half the costs coming from a US deal with Allied Artists, the other half coming from a German tax shelter deal.

In her memoirs, Lee Grant called it "a really flimsy film" where "the script was no more than a sixteen page outline, but the money was good and my co star was James Coburn, an actor I admired and wanted to play with."

During filming Grant admitted the film "is a switch for me." She said she did it because she and her husband were about to adopt two children and also because "I thought the picture would be a really great party – a come-as-you-are party because I don't have to put fake wrinkles on as I normally do. My only regret is that I'm breaking my image playing a sexy lady."
