the director used melina mercury because when you want to make a saccessful movie you use a beautyfull actress but when you want to make a masterpiece you use a symbol the thing that later they got married is irrelevant also eric ambler never mentioned the exact age in the novel - @Tuesday, May 3, 2011 9:04 PM

@scryerofold yeah, she was a little bit older than your typical leading lady, but it leant authenticity to the part. if she's going to be the leader of a gang of thieves, why would you believably think it was a woman in her 20's - @Tuesday, March 22, 2011 12:35 AM

A wonderful, wonderful joy of a movie! I loved it as a kid, now it's one of my favorite dvds. - @Monday, August 23, 2010 8:00 PM

Loved the music, photography and on location scenery, the acrobatic actor who doesn't speak, and mostly, the allure and promise of Melina teased at from the outset--albeit never fulfilled inasmuch as she virtually disappears from the film--but sadly, this movie falls flat and ultimately disappoints! - @Saturday, May 22, 2010 4:36 PM
