Jack Hawkins and Charles Gray appear together. After Hawkins lost his voice due to throat cancer in 1966, Gray was one of the actors used to dub his voice in later films.

Blooper
As Frazer is being taken to Madrid, their Rolls Royce is forced off the road by the "smugglers". When the driver of the Rolls climbs from the wrecked car he draws his gun, but one of the criminals throws a knife & kills him. Instead of a fake knife throw, the actor actually throws the knife, but he throws high over the driver's head. The driver reacts out of fear by ducking his head forward. Then as the scene cuts, the knife is in the driver's chest & his head is leaning back.

Citazioni
Prince Jamil: [showing the book he's been reading - "Goldfinger" by Ian Fleming] Rather far-fetched, wouldn't you say?

Good actors, bad script.

"Masquerade" stars Cliff Robertson, Jack Hawkins, Charles Gray and several other excellent actors. With this cast, the film can't help be good....if it had a good script. Sadly, it doesn't have a decent script and characters simply defy beliavability.

Robertson plays David Frazer, an American who is somehow convinced to work for the British government. His job will be to keep watch over an obnoxious young man to is about to become the leader of his North African country. Why does the British government care? Well, they want a British company to secure the rights to the oil from this guy's nation.

While this plot doesn't sound bad at all, it is problematic because again and again and again, bad guys become good guys and vice-versa...to the point of absurdity. And all this plotting and scheming becomes tedious after a while and there really isn't any sort of a payoff by the end of the film. A big misfire.
