Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJack London's original novel was left markedly incomplete at the time of his death, and it was not until many decades later that the thriller-writer Robert L. Fish (also known as Robert L. Pike) finished it for publication, amidst much publicity. The novel is noticeably more serious in tone than this movie, although a New York Times review at the time called it "delightfully ridiculous".
- GoofsIn the scene, about 40-45 minutes in, where Lord Bostwick visits General Van Pinck whilst the latter is at fencing practice, you will see a map of Europe on the wall. Although this film ostensibly takes place before World War I, the map is of post-Versailles Europe, c.1925-1939.
- Quotes
Miss Winter: With your ideas, I'm surprised you're shocked at the thought of war.
Ivan Dragomiloff: Not at all. It's purely a matter of business. How can we charge our sort of prices with everybody happily killing each other for a shilling a day?
Featured review
A very funny epic of a gang of assassins
An exciting story of a gang of assassins in the early 1900's. Leaves you wondering how could Dragomiloff possibly kill his next victim without it being similar to a previous one. Starring a young (and very attractive) Oliver Reed and a young Diana Rigg, the pair make some hilarious scenes. I feel that the ending of the film is not quite as good as the beginning but still a very enjoyable way to spend an hour and a half.
