Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaShown in 1968 in the UK as a cinema feature under the title "Deadly Roulette". It was highly praised by critics. The film was released in a double-bill with "The Secret War Of Harry Frigg"; it retained its new British title when shown on television years later.
- GoofsThe script writers don't seem to have done their homework. Jack tells NikKi that they seem to be traveling north along the coast of Crete in the Aegean, and that if they want to go to Istanbul, they need to "turn north". Crete is in the Mediterranean not in the Aegean, and if they're heading north along the coast of Crete they're already heading straight for Istanbul.

Jack Washington: [repeated to self] ... the only thing I was ever better at than anyone else, was holding my breath!

I NEED THIS MOVIE
Okay, this is the best movie ever! Its not on video, and i haven't seen it in 10-12 years. Every summer's end, I hope that my local TV stations will play it...BUT THEY NEVER *##(% DO! This movie is a lost treasure. I'm sure one day, critics and art house hags will be jonesing over 'discovering' another 'Carnival of Souls' or 'Henry - Portrait of a Serial Killer' (this movie isnt like either one, however). Or I just might end up seeing this under Taratinos' 'Rolling Thunder' video release label, as he gives his stamp of approval....but I digress.
This movie rocks. If I was a director, and had to remake a movie, I would do this in a heart beat. Robert Wagner is excellent. Peter Lawford is sooooo damn smug as a law breaking jet setter. Robert Wagners 60's beatnik vibe, matched against Peter Lawford's 50's swank is brilliantly played out for a "winner" take all. As Mr.Pine would say, "To the victor goes the spoils".
I just cant explain it in words, right up there with Mamets 'House of Games' or 'Glengary GlenRoss'.
