    Storyline

    • Trivia
      According to John Heseltine, who restored the car for the film, star David Niven couldn't master the idiosyncratic gearbox of the white 1937 Cord 812 Supercharged Phaeton Convertible, and subsequently it was driven in bottom gear, resulting in it overheating. The scene in the film showing the steaming Cord was hastily rewritten to work around the problem. The car had to be restored from nothing but a rusty collection of parts in just six months to get it ready for filming.
    • Goofs
      Before Love is sent to Beirut, Jackson checks the papers to be given to Love. The last of them is "a photo of Rosser". Later in Rosser's hotel room in Beirut, however, a very important scene is built around the proposition that Love does not know what Rosser looks like. Love may not be an actual spy, but he should still be able to recognize a man from his photo.
    • Quotes
      • Dr. Jason Love: Good lord, I was almost a virgin surgeon in those days.
    • Crazy credits
      The film title appears on a paper, which burns up over the opening credits.
