Anecdotes
Although the film was supposed to have been shot in many locations, the scenes in Greece and New York's port (at the end of the movie), were in fact filmed in Naples, Italy. Names and banners were created to make it look like the locations they were supposed to be, but they were riddled with typographical errors; in addition, the real port of Piraeus doesn't look anything like the one depicted in the film.

Gaffes
The band in the back of the club during "Anyone for Love" is barely pretending to be playing. Note especially the violinist whose bow doesn't touches the strings.

Citations
Murphy: Every now and again we get some little junkie in here who's so far down the line he's makin' half a buck profit on a twenty dollar shot. He doesn't even know what year it is - never mind who's hiring him. It doesn't seem to add up, does it?

Another European-American hybrid 50s film with middling results.

In the 1950s, American actors were in demand in European films. It seems that it was far cheaper to make movies there and by bringing in one or two big-name or semi-big name American actors the movie would have greater international appeal. So the likes of Richard Basehart, Anthony Quinn and many other mostly B-list actors made there way to Europe, though a few, such as Alan Ladd, were big name stars. Almost as big as Ladd at that time was Victor Mature and here he stars as, what else, an American in Europe!

The film finds American Cop, Charles Sturgis (Mature) in Europe to try to break up an international drug smuggling outfit. His part in the film was at best mildly interesting...as mostly he played the stereotypical angry, blustering American. What WAS interesting was the leader of the baddies. While you don't think of Trevor Howard in such a role, he was vicious and very exciting to watch...and sadly he was barely in the film! As a result of this and a mediocre script, the film has 'time-passer' written all over it and nothing more.
