This movie featured Sir Roger Moore and Bernard Lee, who featured in the James Bond film franchise, as James Bond and M, respectively, in Vivre et laisser mourir (1973), L'Homme au pistolet d'or (1974), L'Espion qui m'aimait (1977), and Moonraker (1979).

Roger Moore did not make a successful crossover into a feature film career with Double jeu (1969) or with another film the following year, La seconde mort d'Harold Pelham (1970), so he returned to television, playing Lord Brett Sinclair in the ITC series, Amicalement vôtre... (1971). The following year, however, Moore was tapped by producers Albert Broccoli and Harry Saltzman to take over the lead role in the James Bond franchise; his first film as 007 was Vivre et laisser mourir (1973).
