    • 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
      After Niven thwarts the assassin, he runs around helter-skelter with the assassin's rifle, making him the target of the mob's fury. Can anyone explain why the director would have him running around with that damn rifle? It looked utterly absurd.
    • Quotes

      Dr. Jason Love: Well, so long as its clearly understood that I'm not a cross between Superman and a spy in black.

      MacGillivray: Yes, well I do hope you're not; because, that kind of exhibitionism always ends in tragedy.

    • Crazy credits
      The film title appears on a paper, which burns up over the opening credits.

    Dorleac falling in love for Niven 32 years eldest....I see....!!!
    A British spying thriller on cold war era with soft treatment by the director Val Guest, after they got a doctor to a dangerous assignment at Rome and Beirut, Lebanon, to find out a missing spy, maybe killed by Russian agents, at Rome's airport he has to meet an agent to aid him before to leave there, actually this connection was a pretty young girl played by Dorleac and before he goes to Lebanon she actually falling in love by Doctor Love, an suggestive name to an irresistible lover....I see, Françoise Dorleac was enchanted by a man 32 years eldest.....I see...well starting this very (im) plausible point of view all about to comes collapse for itself, also bound by a weak special effects made by odd thumbnails, an easy going production that l'd recorded from TCM on original and rare dubbed version!!!
