Format:DVD
This is an excellent film, well woth seeing. The dvd is probably the worst technically I have ever seen. Colors shift, focus drifts, I cannot understand how anyone could make such a miserable copy and then have the nerve to sell it without labeling it "SUBSTANDARD".

Format:DVD
This movie made by former Bond director Peter (On Her Majesty's Secret Service) Hunt and starring then 007 Roger Moore has all the hallmarks of a great fun action thriller. Yet, the action doesn't seem to truly pick up until the latter part of the movie when things start to go terribly wrong in a South African gold mine.
The plot - for what it's worth - revolves around plans to increase the value of gold stocks by flooding a gold mine in Africa, and the machinations employed to keep the manager of the mine (played by Moore) suitably distracted and away from the location to allow the villains plot to succeed.
A great cast supports Moore in this piece including Susannah York and Sir John Gielgud and it moves at a fair pace. The troubling aspect about this movie (and the reason I give it only four stars) is the poor treatment that has been afforded the picture on the DVD - it really does deserve to be redone and remastered.

Format:DVD
This mid-70's film is genuinely enjoyable and dramatic. The music is great (with a high-energy title song and 70's disaster flick chick Maureen McGovern doing a great love theme in the middle of the film). Roger Moore gives perhaps one of his two or three great non-Bond performances. But don't buy it until it's done right in widescreen with a solid remastering job. It's a real shame that wasn't done first time out. This is a genuinely good film with a small cult following.

Not a bad yarn, acting is good
Not too bad. Susanna York outshines Roger Moore. A little long on the entry scenes on going down into the mine, but the film recovers. It ends nicely. Read more

Don't buy this dvd...
It looks like a pirated copy someone taped off a television airing. The "bad" words are bleeped out and the sound and picture quality hint that it was copied from an old vhs tape. Read more

Good action movie
Above average film for the time. The acting is also ok for the time period. As far as being an action/thriller, things don't heat up until the last half of the movie. Read more
