Trivia
Because of the phenomenal success of the book on which this film was based, 20th Century Fox was sure the film was going to be a huge hit at the box office. At the same time there were such low expectations surrounding Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) that many theaters refused to book it. 20th Century Fox came up with the idea of a package deal, telling theater chains that if they wanted this movie they had to book "Star Wars" first (that practice was actually illegal, and the studio had to pay a $25,000 fine for it). This movie went on to become a box-office dud while "Star Wars" went on to become one of the most successful films of all time.

Goofs
When Cathy first comes out of the bedroom and overhears Larry and Noelle planning her demise, she has on underpants beneath her nightgown. But when she runs outside into the rainstorm and her nightgown gets soaking wet you can plainly see she has on no underpants.

Quotes
Constantin Demeris: My family was very poor. My father was a stevedore. There were fourteen children, and we had to fight for our bread at the table. I was lucky; I was born with a talent for mathematics. I learned to quickly estimate the odds against me, and then I beat them. Some people encouraged me along the way. Others snubbed or cheated me, but in my heart there is an indelible record of each transaction. We all play God, but some of us are better-equipped for the role than others. You see, where most men go unpunished for the evil they do, I am in a position to make them pay. Call it justice, call it vengeance... it's all the same. Nor do I believe as it is in the Bible, "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth", but rather, a head for an eye and a heart for a tooth. A simple religion, but once people know that I practise it devoutly, they stay away from my eyes, and far away from my teeth.

I expected just another love story "chick" movie and was pleasantly surprised that it delivered the thrills.

I saw this movie upon the persistent recommendations of my lady co-employees thinking and hoping that there may be sense after all in their insistence. But of course, knowing them I expected this to be another chick movie, a maudlin love story.

To my surprise, it had a lot of suspense and I also appreciated the fact that it captured the ambience of the European countries that served as locales.

It did well in the Philippines. I saw it with a standing room crowd and it took me a while to grab a seat. But I doubt if it was well received in the US.
