We saw Paris and Marseille in the 1970', not so crowded yet, and the Europeans were most white, not so polluted and littered with garbage all over the places. The yellow Porsche was still a race car, but I prefer more that car Michael Caine drove. Now in 2018, Anthony Quinn, James Mason and most of the supporting bad guys and good guys were all dead for a long time, Caine is now an very old guy too. But look at Caine in the 70's, what a handsome dude! He didn't wear the big horn rim glasses yet.
The thing that I really don't quite get is why in the 70's, the American government already got the DEA operated in Europe. Yes, I do know Marseille was the major drug export city at that time, but how come the role Mason played, a pure English breed, would have been the powerful drug lord in France? Why Quinn hired the hitman then had the second thought and wanted to cancel the contract? A guy hunted by Mason's killers, retaliation should be the natural reaction. If he could hire an assassin to do the job, why he wanted to call it off later? Conscience?
Anyway, there were several eye candies around Mason's surroundings, they were really pretty, even by 2018's standard.
