    Good but could have been even better. Love to do a remake if done correctly
    An American geologist Mr. Graham, played by Sam Waterston accidentally discovers oil in Turkey. Several assassins are sent to eliminate him, but they all fail. He eventually boards a passenger boat to try to escape. However, one of the passengers is an undercover assassin.

    Movie has a great cast with an extremely young Ian McShane (DEADWOOD) as Banat the hitman who does not have a single line in the movie but carries menace like Aldo Ray's character in WELCOME TO HARD TIMES. Vincent Price makes a great turn as Banat's employer named Dervos. Donald Pleasance plays Turkish undercover officer Kuvetli , posing as a Turkish cigarette salesman who does not smoke and works for a company no one has ever heard of. Yvette Mimieux plays Josette who is being pimped out by her husband Jose played by Scott Marlowe. She is the love interest or bait for the Sam Waterston character Mr. Graham. Joseph Wiseman plays Colonel Haki who is trying to protect Mr. Graham from getting killed. Stanley Holloway and Shelly Winters play a married couple. Shelly plays a racist gossipy woman named Mrs. Mathews and Stanley Holloway in his final movie appearance plays her kindly husband Mr. Mathews.

    Movie has super exciting opening and start, it kind of bogs down in the middle then jumps back into action towards the end.

    Ripe for a remake.
