- TriviaIt is rumored that Burt Lancaster had in his contract that his gymnastic equipment be shipped, set up and struck at each location so he could work out to keep in shape.
- GoofsLancaster disarms two agents by putting his car into reverse and slamming into their car in a narrow alley. Then he pulls forward and does it again. But on his second pass, there's a shot of the back of his car completely undamaged before it makes the second hit. (In that final shot, the car is damaged as it should be.)

Featured review
LeCarre Done Worse
This movie might be classified as a spy thriller but like so many other 'spy thrillers' there's not much thrill to it. Unsurprising since most scenes in this movie don't even try to be suspenseful or energetic. Especially since this isn't trying to be a Bond style movie but more of the LeCarre type. However, it doesn't even have the sophistication and authenticity that his stories do(mostly).
What you do have is Burt Lancaster in a tired performance and Alain Delon who's quite an unintresting actor chasing & dodging each other in a badly constructed, incredibly dull story directed by Michael Winner who based off of this is a loser. So is Scorpio.
