Fire! Fire!"; "Based on the novel by Max Catto"; "Produced by Irving Allen and Albert R. Broccoli", note that Broccoli went on to produce the James Bond series of movies, which Irving Allen did not want to produce, because he did not think that they were even good enough for television!; a few years later, Allen tried to make up for his massive blunder by producing the series of Matt Helm movies with Dean Martin, but the only way he could get Martin to star was to make him a partner, which meant that Martin made more money from The Silencers in 1966 than Sean Connery made on Thunderball the previous year, and Connery was not happy about that at all!) starring Rita Hayworth ("is the man-burnt woman of it..."), Robert Mitchum ("is the woman-scorched man of it..."), Jack Lemmon ("is the wild spark that sets it off..."), Herbert Lom, Bonar Colleano, and Bernard Lee. Note that producers Allen and Broccoli likely remembered Bernard Lee from this movie when they cast him as "M" in the James Bond series! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
