Decent Bad Guys Thriller With Some Good Actors

Charles Bronson is an expatriate American boat owner in the south of France, living with his wife, Liv Ullmann and his stepdaughter. He seems a lighthearted guy, until James Mason shows up. Mason was his captain in the army, and the leader of a smuggling ring, which included Bronson. Bronson turned witness, and Mason went to prison. Now Mason has kidnapped Ullmann and daughter to force Bronson to take part in his latest scheme. But despite some good planning, matters soon become complicated.

It's seems like an odd trio, but despite Bronson clearly being the star, Ullmann and Mason get some fine, extended sequences. There's also some fine location camerawork around Nice and Beaulieu-sur-Mer, an exciting high-speed driving sequence, and Jill Ireland as a ditz.

Trivia
Only 3 days after the film's release In the US, it was aired on television.

Goofs
As the German cop is stabbed to the side during the jailbreak, he drops dead instantly even though the blade coming out is bloody for less than an inch from the tip. Deadly maybe, but not likely that fast.

Quotes
Joe Martin: And you and Michelle. What will you do while I'm away?
Fabienne Martin: We'll wait.
Joe Martin: Like Hell. I wait!

Alternate versions
To receive a UK 'A' cinema certificate the film was cut by the BBFC to remove the sound of a neck break and a brief scene of nudity, and to edit the shooting of a man with a flare gun. It was later reissued with a 'AA' (now 15) certificate and the cuts restored.
