Trivia:
When producer Richard Maibaum first came on the set, director John Farrow who liked to intimidate people who worked with him, kept him at a distance by using a walking stick. Maibaum turned around, went to the props department and returned with a baseball bat. As if a spell were broken, the situation immediately improved and Maibaum and Farrow would go on to have an excellent working relationship.

You know, Earl has a passion for obscurity. He won't even have his biography in 'Who's Who'.
George Stroud:
Sure. He doesn't want to let his left hand know whose pocket the right one is picking.

May be best not to meet anybody, 15 August 2002

When a magazine editor comes into contact with a strange woman he has no
idea his life and liberty will soon be jeopardized. When the woman winds
up
dead the man's boss starts a large scale manhunt for the killer in order
to
further his magazine sales. Or does he have an ulterior motive? Lots of
suspense as the editor plays a cat and mouse game with a group of deadly
conspirators.
