I saw this when I was about 11 or 12 years old and I loved it then and I still love it now! It's one of those classic 1960s movies like Come September.
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
@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
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!
is the balding guy the effiminate lisping dance instructor from swing time and the assistant from top hat? maxmillian schell was pretty handsome when he was younger. i only have seen him when he was old
A wonderful, wonderful joy of a movie! I loved it as a kid, now it's one of my favorite dvds.
I agree

I'd like to see this movie: Ivisited Topkapi palace last month.
This movie is what the "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" short on Tiny Toons was a parody of.

My God, why did they use such a old woman for this part?-
Was Melina a drag queen? I can't get a good look at him/her.

Thumbs down!
