    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      From working on this movie, James Mason famously once said that Raquel Welch was "the most selfish, ill-mannered, inconsiderate actress that I have ever had the displeasure of working with."
    • Goofs
      When the group lines up outside the yacht for the photo, Christine has her sunglasses on. When Clinton hangs up the photo, it shows Christine with no sunglasses.
    • Quotes

      Clinton Green: [Gesturing to a small island not too far from his yacht] You like it?

      Clinton Green: [They all look, while Clinton beams proudly] I love it. Tiny, tiny islands fascinate my ass. I've got this crazy broker in London that sends me these brochures on all the islands for sale all over the world. Little impoverished islands. A few thousand dollars cash, and you're practically king to six shepherds and their families. Or whatever. I read every word on every island. Then you know what I do? I tear them neatly in half and drop them in the wastebasket. Then I say to myself...

      Christine: [interrupting] I'm still weak, Clinton, but I'm eating solid food.

      Clinton Green: I say to myself, "If there's one thing I hate, it's to have my island speech interrupted."

      Clinton Green: [continues] I say to myself: "No, you poor people... you don't deserve a good king like me." That's what I say!

    Deliciously dark humour blends well with mystery
    Great performances, marvelous dialogue and a deliciously dark sense of humour makes this one loads of fun for repeated viewings. The ensemble cast works very well together, and the brain candy never stops. And the payoff is well worth waiting for. Never has a song punctuated the final scene so well.
