Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThroughout filming, the film was known as "Act Of Mercy," the title of writer Francis Clifford's novel. At the last minute, the title was changed to the meaningless Guns of Darkness (1962). The front office was worried about its box-office potential and thought the new name was more dramatic, as well as being similar to The Guns of Navarone (1961), which had been a big hit for star David Niven the previous year. It was also reported the film was re-titled for the American market.

- Quotes
Tom Jordan: [to his wife, Claire Jordan, as they shelter in a cave with rain pouring down outside] Look at the rain. It's like England. Do you remember when we first arrived in England? And you were expecting to find a country full of green lawns, and stately homes, and tall titled men in tweed suits, making witty remarks and eating cucumber sandwiches, hmm? Remember the first few weeks all we did was sit in the railway hotel and watch the rain, pouring down on Pennington Station... and not a Lord came near us, hmm?

I don't buy it. I just don't understand why politically apathetic Tom is willing to risk his life. He seems to completely change over that one murder. I don't buy it. When the boy thing happens, they should dump him ASAP. This is all about motivation and it's not here.
