Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Schaffner was fired mid-production; the studio brought in reshoot directors, which explains why some scenes look like different movies.
This was peak 'Americans in exotic danger' cinema, released the same year as Raiders of the Lost Ark but with infinitely less self-awareness about who gets to steal artifacts.
