- Quotes
Coley Jones: [sitting down after she directs him] Is this place taken? Madame, would you mind if I smoked?
Coley Jones: [waving his pack of cigars at her] I noticed you took a pill. I thought perhaps...
Monique Marko: Huh? Nothing. Small headache.
Coley Jones: Are you sure the smoke won't distress you?
Monique Marko: I'm never distressed by smoke. Surely not. But thank you.
Coley Jones: Not at all. I have a headache myself. I wonder if it would be too much to ask if, eh...
Monique Marko: [giving him the pill packet] The aspirin?
Coley Jones: [purposefully knocking her handbag off the table as he takes the pill packet] Oh, I am sorry...
Monique Marko: Don't worry. It's not important.
Coley Jones: [picking up the handbag and detecting traces of the opium] Very clumsy of me. I'm terribly sorry. Would you allow me to buy you a drink?
Monique Marko: No thank you. Alcohol doesn't agree with me.
Coley Jones: Are you travelling alone?
Monique Marko: [picking up her poodle] Alone? Oh, no. I always have Toutou. Dit "bonsoir", Toutou.
Coley Jones: Bonsoir, Toutou. You're a fine looking fella.
Monique Marko: He loves being flattered.
Coley Jones: He seems to understand every word you say.
Monique Marko: Oh, yes. Toutou and I always have conversation. Toutou is most understanding.
Coley Jones: All my life I've wanted to meet a truly understanding dog. Perhaps we could write to each other. Where does Toutou live?
Monique Marko: In my mind.
Coley Jones: Then I'll write to Toutou, care of the mind of Madame, er...
Monique Marko: No. Because I also live in the mind of another...
Coley Jones: Who's mind is that?
[she gets up and leaves without replying]

Performed by Trini López
[The first song in Trini López's set]
Still a whole bunch of international stars lent their names and got a fat paycheck for this muddled episodic film which tries to make E.G. Marshall an action star. Talk about ridiculous.
Best in the film by far are Yul Brynner as an Iranian general and Rita Hayworth as the dope addicted wife of Gilbert Roland who is one of the villains. Roland plays it rather straight and that ever present twinkle that I love in him is missing.
The filming was done on actual locations including some of the harder to reach regions of Iran. Of course that was back in the day of the Shah's pro-western government and you can see photographs of the Shah in some of the shots. I also liked Hugh Griffith as I always do with those wild eyes of his, the wildest this side of Jack Elam. Griffith just dusts off his Sheik Ilderim portrayal from Ben-Hur and hams it up to beat the band. There wasn't much else the man could do, he knew he was in a Thanksgiving special.
