    • Trivia
      While filming None But the Brave (1965), Brad Dexter had apparently rescued Frank Sinatra from drowning when he got into difficulty swimming. As a thank-you, Sinatra agreed to star in this film when Dexter was starting out as a producer; however, it was reported that he was very difficult throughout the filming and gave Dexter and director Sidney Furie many headaches.

    Well worth the watch!

    This is an excellent spy thriller. The plot gets tangled at times, like what was that all about at the airport and the rifle? Sinatra is great and a well chosen international cast. It may be a B grade movie but you will certainly be entertained. The director uses a plethora of different camera angles which I thought were very good. It is too bad they didn't know how to end it.
