Must confess, I have not read the book, although I have seen the film twice now. It's a pleasant enough picture to watch and remains quite exciting at the second viewing. The period props are OK although modern film makers, presumably when working on a limited budget, tend to make a film comprising fairly close shots - perhaps for rather obvious reasons. Regret, not sure about Davies' moustache and, in some scenes, the usually dependable Christopher Challis appears rather ill-served by the film editor. Some of that blame must lie with the director.
