No matter what else may be said of this film it is, if not the only, certainly one of the earliest British films to feature a tiki bar. Also, the song "What a Marvelous Lie You Told Me" is one of the more unusual tunes every recorded in a movie. The dancing that goes with it is simply marvelous. Herbert Lom is perfect and Connery is all young and full of rage. A real gem of 60s British cinema.... The pity is that more is not made of the club that Lom runs and which has some very special "Indian" doormen despite its Oceanic interior. Leaving aside the other comments made about the film's violence, the action, especially the scene in which Connery is set up, is very typical of the period....
