"Whilst Peter Vaughan does add something as a german who doesnt speak much, its clear from the outset that Jeremy Kemp shouldnt be trusted but oddly enough is, by his former Captain Richard Johnson. Ms Blackman knows where the diamonds are and what could have been a half decent film descends into a very quick and quite pathetic ending hence DONT Bother. We also had the benefit on freeview of LIP movements NOT matching the words coming out. Periodically, most of the time, this is the best freeview have to offer-hardly "great films"!..."

Although no date is specified for the modern-day scenes, it is fairly clear that they cannot be taking place in 1968, the year of the film's release - all the leading characters (except the girl) would, given that they were on active wartime service in 1943, have to be over the age of fifty, and it is fairly clear that none of them are. The brief dialogue reference to the smuggled rifles which are thrown overboard at the start of the film being destined for Cyprus suggests that these scenes are set during the EOKA emergency on that island in 1956-7.
