Goofs
Nobody in his right mind would climb snow-covered mountains improperly dressed--no overcoat, no boots, no gloves, no scarf, no ear-covering hat, etc.--yet near the climax of the film, Janssen and other cast members risk frostbite and possibly even hypothermia by wearing only basic, non-protective clothing. Presumably, for outdoor films of this type, directors prefer not to swaddle their stars, perhaps for fear of potentially making them less quickly identifiable to the viewer. Either that, or certain "outdoor" scenes are in fact filmed indoors on sound stages.

Quotes
David Christopher: I was up half the night with the Zürich police, who insist I'm responsible for a Bobby Hayes that was stuffed into a trunk of a rented car, which they say I rented, which I didn't rent, now don't further complicate my life; what is it?

Complex Thriller

Good cast delivers in this interesting blackmail plot involving Swiss bank accounts. Started somewhat slow but built nicely into a satisfying conclusion. Anton Diffring always adds a nice sinister element to a movie. Ray Milland is perfectly cast as the bank president. Janssen seemed to have a hard time getting into the proceedings but got better as the movie progressed. The other characters were reasonably well developed which gave the movie more depth. Great location shooting, vintage Ferraris, and Senta and Elke were definite pluses. Overall an enjoyable viewing especially if you enjoy Euro-based thrillers.
