No better than fair...

Businessman (Niven) and his wife (Caron) are caught in the turmoil of a South American revolution, find themselves helping the overthrown president escape to the border. Civilised drama (as Niven tries to find life's meaing) gets itself tangled in deeper meanings, never quite makes itself clear. Cast tries hard, but the result is no better than fair.

Anecdotes
Throughout 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 Sept heures avant la frontière (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 Les Canons de 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.

Gaffes
When the airplane flies over the escaping trio, the sky is alternately very cloudy or clear.

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?
