“It doesn’t make sense! Not any of it!”
Hilariously awful star-studded turkey, an apparent do-gooder drama concocted by Ian Fleming, sponsored by Xerox and directed by Bond-filmmaker Terence Young, details the United Nations’ efforts to stop the trafficking of opium out of the Middle East. Bungled ingredients include star-cameos, an introduction by Grace Kelly (!), and Yul Brynner (misspelled in the credits) as a fez-topped Colonel who rides out to meet his enemies on horseback as if this were a Samurai western. The curious, sloppy over-dubbing leaves some of the actors looking like foreigners in a spaghetti spy-drama, while Kelly implores us to remember that…yes…Poppy flowers are attractive and innocent-looking, but their seeds are producing drugs that are destroying our young people! Not as fast as films like this. E. G. Marshall’s somewhat bemused performance is the only asset the picture has to offer. Also known as “The Poppy Is Also a Flower”, “The Opium Connection” and (my favorite) “Danger Grows Wild”. NO STARS from ****

Too much message…too many stars…not enough story
Let’s face it…whenever you get this many stars in one place the end result is gonna be really bad. And this is no exception.

I know this film was made by the UN to help bolster efforts to stop drug trafficking and abuse…I know the most of the stars worked for scale to cut down costs. But it looks like only Trevor Howard remembered that “working for scale” still means “working”…i.e., acting. Yul Brynner is, well, Yul Brynner. He doesn’t have to act…he only has two characters in his repertoire anyway (enjoyable though those characters may be).

It was interesting to see E.G. Marshall as the hero of the piece though…one of the few interesting points to the film.

One major part of the premise was that the UN forces tagged a shipment of opium with radioactivity to track it. Now this radioactivity was measurable at a distance of several miles at times, so one has to wonder what would happen if it got away from them and got to the junkies…hoards of radioactive heroin addicts…ack.
