Trivia

Grace Kelly's first and only completed film since retiring from the screen in 1957. She was also a front runner for Marnie (for her favorite director, Alfred Hitchcock) and at the time of her death was prepping an official comeback with the never-completed 1982 drama "Rearranged", which paired her with Edward Meeks and Robert Dornhelm.

"It doesn't make sense! Not any of it!"
15 May 2007 | by (las vegas, nv) – See all my reviews

Hilariously awful star-studded turkey, an apparent do-gooder drama concocted by Ian Fleming, sponsored by Xerox and directed by Bond-filmmaker Terence Young, details the United Nations' efforts to stop the trafficking of opium out of the Middle East. Bungled ingredients include star-cameos, an introduction by Grace Kelly (!), and Yul Brynner (misspelled in the credits) as a fez-topped Colonel who rides out to meet his enemies on horseback as if this were a Samurai western. The curious, sloppy over-dubbing leaves some of the actors looking like foreigners in a spaghetti spy-drama, while Kelly implores us to remember that...yes...Poppy flowers are attractive and innocent-looking, but their seeds are producing drugs that are destroying our young people! Not as fast as films like this. E. G. Marshall's somewhat bemused performance is the only asset the picture has to offer. Also known as "The Poppy Is Also a Flower", "The Opium Connection" and (my favorite) "Danger Grows Wild". NO STARS from ****
