Trivia
This was Bonar Colleano's final film before he was killed in a car accident on August 18, 1958 at the age of 34, three weeks before the film was released.

Goofs
When Sam Carter takes delivery of his forged Spanish passport he runs through the attributes it lists - eye colour blue, hair colour fair, height 5 feet 11 and a half inches and so on. However, Spain adopted the metric system in 1849, so his height would have been given in metres/centimetres.

Quotes
Robert Stone: Without any warning at all, the door closed on me. I shouted and finally...
Milo March: You say you've known him for a long time?
Robert Stone: Yes, he's been doing our books for fifteen years at least. The quietest, nicest fellow you could meet. He came here about once in two weeks. Carter and I used to look at the stone together. We used to stand here, just looking.
Franklin: Hand in hand?
Robert Stone: Mr. March, you know anything about diamonds?
Milo March: Yeah, I know I can't afford them.
Robert Stone: Then let me ask you; have you ever seen something that became an obsession, something you simply had to possess?
Milo March: Aha. But she ran away with a Texas oil man.
Robert Stone: Well, Carter in a sense, eloped with the diamond. I don't condone him stealing it, mind you. But I can understand why he did it. He took it because he fell in love with it.
Franklin: It's like stealing another man's wife.
Milo March: Oh, come on now. What can a diamond do for you on a cold night?
Robert Stone: If you're lucky enough to find The Tyrahna Blue, you'll know what I mean. You see, Mr. March, every man is actually two men: the one the world sees, the other the man inside.
Milo March: You think that I'll steal it?
Robert Stone: [chuckles] No, course not, Mr March. But the idea may cross your mind. A diamond like The Tyrahna Blue is like a beautiful woman - irresistible. A fire with passion.

Worth your time but nothing exceptional

Anita Ekberg is eye candy in a strange British thriller about a diamond heist. Jack Palance from USA, Ekberg from Sweden, Donald Pleasence from UK, Anthony Newly from UK playing a Spaniard make up the some of the cast. Sequences of quality is jewel thief Nigel Patrick playing magic tricks for kids in Lisbon and the train only to be outsmarted by them . The character Ekberg plays is intriguing..
