Captain Boyd: Nearly a week ago, I presented you with an ultimatum. I'm still waiting for your answer.
Elsa: I've thought about your ultimatum, Captain Boyd. I intend to convey it to Robert Case on his return.
Captain Boyd: That should be at any moment. You've made a wise decision.
Elsa: You leave me with no alternative, of course. Why are you so vindictive?
Elsa: I don't like wives who cheat. Especially with half-castes. And I don't like half-castes who masquerade as officers.
Elsa: I suggest you complain to the War Office who appoint them.
Captain Boyd: Your behaviour has made that quite unnecessary - in this instance, at any rate.
Captain Boyd: It's ironical that your husband should volunteer for special mission with your lover, don't you think?
- Cenas durante ou pós-créditosOpening credits prologue: FORT KANDAHAR A British outpost on the North West frontier of India 1850.
The story is cheap and carries some distinctly colonial racial overtones, not least in the presence of anti-hero Ronald Lewis, blacked-up as a half-caste for his role. Lewis must be the singular most obnoxious heroic character in a Hammer film, a guy who I actually despised throughout much of the running time; were we really supposed to feel sorry for him after he swapped allegiances like that?
Elsewhere, it's sub-ZULU antics throughout, enlivened by a handful of larger-scale battle sequences which employ some dodgy back projection which saps them of realism. Once again Hammer has an eye for a distinguished supporting cast, but most of them are wasted here; the only ones who come out of it well are Duncan Lamont and Katherine Woodville. Oliver Reed is cast as the bad guy but I feel he would have made a much more compelling protagonist. In any case, this is as dull as dishwater and one of Hammer's weakest efforts.
