Opening Credits
Description
John Payne, the lead actor, was the first person in Hollywood interested in making the James Bond novels into a film series. In 1955, he paid a $1,000 amonth option for 9 months on the Bond novel Moonraker (he eventually gave up the option when he learned he couldn't retain the rights for the entire 007 series). This movie was an early effort for many well known 'B' movie character actors: Jack Elam, Lee Van Cleef, Neville Brand, Preston Foster. The director, Phil Karlson, is probably most famous for directing the sleeper hit, Walking Tall, with Joe Don Baker.
