There are in this movie two actors very dear to me, I grew up with their films: Peter O'Toole and Alastair Sim. Unfortunately, Sim has a small role, and the last
of his career. O'Toole does an excellent job but I liked him more in "The Night of the Generals", "Murphy's War" and "The Ruling Class". John Standing and Michael
Byrne are both very good in two roles of negative characters.
