    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Sean Connery visited the set during filming in the South of France. He was dating Diane Cilento at the time. They married the following year.
    • Goofs
      Near the beginning of the film, after Alan successfully passes the truck and pulls over to the side of the road, he leaps out of the car without setting the parking brake. Denise is seen pulling on the handbrake, but the car continues to move until the end of the shot, with the front of the car going past the roadside sign. In the next shot, the car has been moved back so that its front is even with the sign.
    • Quotes
      • David Prade: You know, only the unsuccessful murderers disclose their crimes.
      • Alan Colby: And the successful ones?
      • David Prade: Well, they draw their reward from a feeling of personal power.
    • Alternate versions
      Columbia cut the film to 93 min when they released it in the US, but the TV arm of Columbia, Screen Gems, syndicated a toned down 107 min. print to US television for years.
