Trivia
Broadcast 18 November 1964. This was the second made-for-TV movie to air in the US following See How They Run (1964) on NBC 7 October 1964). However, it was Don Siegel''s second foray into filming a feature for TV, since his first, The Killers (1964) was determined to be too violent for television and instead went to theatrical distribution.

Forgettable

It is even easier to forget if you don't bother watching it. This TV movie moves at a snail's pace. There is barely enough interesting to happen to interest Edmund O'Brien andPrinra Miles fans. Its obvious they only showed up for a paycheck. Robert Culp seems the most depressed. He sleepwalks through his scenes never changing his expression.

The only things I found interesting was a cameo by Stan Getz and Astrid Gilberto performing The Girl from Ipanema and the fact that street scenes are filled with the shiny new 1964 Ford lineup: A Galaxie XL four door hardtop, a Falcon Futura Coupe and a Fairlane 500 Club Copue. Product placement!

FYI. The beautiful French girl is played by Brenda Scott. She was married and divorced to Andrew Prine three times. I bet that story would make for a much better TV movie.
