Sir Roger Moore and Walter Gotell would work again in future James Bond/007 movies.
The climatic fight between Borieff, armed with a medieval flail, and Templar defending himself with a shield, is reminiscent of the battle between George Sanders and Robert Taylor who use the same weapons in the 1952 film Ivanhoe. Coincidentally Roger Moore played the knight Sir Ivanhoe in the 1950s TV series of the same name.
