Plot

Sam Carter (Nigel Patrick) is a jeweller's clerk who dreams of stealing a fortune in diamonds and eventually does so but kills a man in the process. He then embarks on the highlife but is pursued across Europe by Milo March (Jack Palance), a private detective who suspects that not all is above board. However, March is not alone in his pursuit, as Trudi Hall (Anita Ekberg) has her own ideas as to how the money would be best spent. Also two thugs, Martin Lomer (Bonar Colleano) and Gerard Heinz (Robert Stone), are after the largest diamond in the stolen hoard. All of these characters end up fighting and trying to outwit each other over the largest diamond, which is worth $700,000, on a train travelling to London. This precious diamond is described by March as "$700,000 of unhappiness", because people are willing to do anything, even kill, to get it.

Cast

Production

Alan Ladd was originally announced to play the lead.[3] Then Victor Mature was going to play it.[4]

In October 1957 filming for the project was pushed back from November to April 1958 in order to allow for Warwick's challenged cash flow following the box office disappointment of Fire Under Below.[1]
