- Quotes
Bob Westlake: And in one of the two cases are these 'Prophecies of Achmed'?
Dr. Burger: We believe so. And possibly Mr Mordaunt was not even aware of the fact. But I can assure you they are highly dangerous
Bob Westlake: What are they exactly?
Dr. Burger: Achmed the Elder was a great eastern seer and prophet in the early part of the fourteenth century. There is a belief that in his work, he foretold the fate of the entire Arab world and its eventual triumph over the infidel
Bob Westlake: I see
Dr. Burger: In recent years, a new Achmed cult has appeared. Their leader, Hejez Delal, is a skilled agitator and with the aid of those original works he could well set the whole of the Middle East aflame - Egypt, Syria, the Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Iraq
Bob Westlake: Sort of holy war?
Dr. Burger: A Jihad - exactly. And on a vast scale. There is still widespread superstition amongst the desert tribes - and, as you know, there is already trouble enough in Morocco and elsewhere
Bob Westlake: And this is the mob that's kidnapped my wife...
Second and third-billed are glamorous fifties femmes Jane Hylton & Honor Blackman; the former nearing the end of her tenure as a blonde Bad Girl, the latter - ironically older than Hylton but who outlived her by over forty years - still five years away from 'The Avengers'. Blackman has already adopted the sleek mane she wore for the remainder of her long life, and for much of the film wears trousers and a stylishly-worn scarf; but here it's Hylton who packs heat while Blackman instead uses one of her high-heeled shoes to put a goon's lights out.
