Wacky casting...E.G battles Oddjob!


The train stuff at the climax is priceless...the short, stocky, literate gentlemen actor E.G. Marshall doing Sean Connery close-combat fist/karate fights with Anthony Quayle...and then no less than Harold "Oddjob" Sakata! And like all guilty-pleasure 1960's cheese, the entire soundtrack is post-syched so it sounds like all the actors are crammed into the same phone booth together.
And introduced by Princess Grace as if she's presenting a Masterpiece Theatre production?!! International co-production craziness at its best.
