- Quotes
Coley Jones: [sitting down after she directs him] Is this place taken? Madame, would you mind if I smoked?
Coley Jones: [waving his pack of cigars at her] I noticed you took a pill. I thought perhaps...
Monique Marko: Huh? Nothing. Small headache.
Coley Jones: Are you sure the smoke won't distress you?
Monique Marko: I'm never distressed by smoke. Surely not. But thank you.
Coley Jones: Not at all. I have a headache myself. I wonder if it would be too much to ask if, eh...
Monique Marko: [giving him the pill packet] The aspirin?
Coley Jones: [purposefully knocking her handbag off the table as he takes the pill packet] Oh, I am sorry...
Monique Marko: Don't worry. It's not important.
Coley Jones: [picking up the handbag and detecting traces of the opium] Very clumsy of me. I'm terribly sorry. Would you allow me to buy you a drink?
Monique Marko: No thank you. Alcohol doesn't agree with me.
Coley Jones: Are you travelling alone?
Monique Marko: [picking up her poodle] Alone? Oh, no. I always have Toutou. Dit "bonsoir", Toutou.
Coley Jones: Bonsoir, Toutou. You're a fine looking fella.
Monique Marko: He loves being flattered.
Coley Jones: He seems to understand every word you say.
Monique Marko: Oh, yes. Toutou and I always have conversation. Toutou is most understanding.
Coley Jones: All my life I've wanted to meet a truly understanding dog. Perhaps we could write to each other. Where does Toutou live?
Monique Marko: In my mind.
Coley Jones: Then I'll write to Toutou, care of the mind of Madame, er...
Monique Marko: No. Because I also live in the mind of another...
Coley Jones: Who's mind is that?
[she gets up and leaves without replying]

[The first song in Trini López's set]
The version I have runs a tad over 84 mins. The VHS picture quality is quite good. When I first saw this film on the big screen, it ran longer. From my fading memory, the original film had an excellent female mud wrestling scene, something I had never seen before. Well, that scene is gone, not fitting for TV around 1970. Much like the gypsy fight scene in From Russia With Love is mostly cut for TV.
During the film, the UN investigators spiked the opium with a radioactive dose to help follow the shipment. What happens to the ultimate users who ingest this cocktail? Never explained in the film.
At any rate, for us oldsters, seeing all of these stars in one film is a treasure. If you are too young to know these people, then take a pass. This is not a high brow boring film. Just check your brain at the door and enjoy.
