| Special notes | "Really the only bright spot is the ubiquitous Herbert Lom, who plays a brigand with an air of winking wildly at the audience." (Isabel Quigly, Spectator) "At a dangerous yawning point, Herbert Lom nearly saves the day as a flamboyant, monocled bandit commander." (Sarah Stoddart, Picturegoer) |
