    The Mercedes Cars used in this film were actually imported from Germany for another film and converted by a British company as the orriginal film was supposed to be filmed in Sweden, which at that time like England drove on the left side of the road. The other film was scrapped and the vehicles used in this film.

    Karel Stepanek was also very clever with his hands. We were installing some new heating in the studios when he came across and knew as much about construction work as we did. Anton used to get cups of tea sent up from the canteen. How we finished the job I'll never know. Both men have great senses of humour, especially putting on a thick German accent.

    I thoroughly enjoy this movie. I have met Anton Diffring and Karel Stepanek when doing some work at Pinewood Film Studios in the late 1950's. Both were very easy to talk to. I must admit that I originally thought Anton was of German descent being as he always seemed to be in WW2 German Uniform. I think that both should have been given more in this film. All in all I really enjoy watching it.

    Hi All,
    I purchased this film on DVD along with two others in "Silver Screen Classics". The other films were - Reach for the Sky and The Malta Story. They are readily available here in Australia. Hope this helps.
