I am the uncredited (Secret Police) Sound Technician, Moritz Asch in the scene with Secret Policeman Blair (Donald Pleasance) trying to decipher the words on a reel of audiotape. I remember the set for this scene, way over-dressed with a ton of sound equipment. I appear bullet- ridden and quite dead at the end of a long shot; the camera moves from room to room, bodies everywhere. My mom did not care to see these stills . . My scenes were filmed at a local police station on College Street, near Spadina Avenue in the neighborhood I was living in (in Toronto) at the time. Donald Pleasance was very pleasant (forgive me). I recall that he introduced himself to me. Being the international and legendary star that he was, this impressed me very much at the time.Peace and Love,Wolf Krakowski www.kamea.com

I find this movie quite interesting, I saw this movie in the Philippines during the height of the 1986 revolution in the Phil. I liked the way Peter O Toole played the character of a cunning officer. The treachery of the power grabbers was for real. Other cast and characters of the movie are good to their respective roles. I could not believe the setting was in Canada. I thought it was in Latin America. I recommend this movie to all countries with unstable political system. There's a lot of lesson you could learn from this movie. Its a warning to military adventurism and to those who wants to grab power unconstitutionally. I want to own a DVD copy of this movie. Where could I find it?

truly fantastic screen play about a putsch --- excellent acting all round --- donald pleasance as the cia/cid inteligence chief magnificient --- it only gets worse says the cleaning man , but who is he really who is anyone --- the good guys and bad guys are indistinguishable!

'Political thriller' mish-mash of the bargain-basement package-tour-for-the-cast variety, with enough intrigue, insurrection and military corruption to keep its small banana republic going for the next 25 revolutions, but none of it remotely interesting or even watchable. If it were a European co-production farrago then at least maybe there'd be a wry smile or two raised by incompetent dubbing, but it's impossible to mask the embarrassment of the English-speaking "stars" in their native tongue, or gloss over the unease of the 'international' cast members. On top of that, this TV print looks like it had been salvaged from a Third World sanitation ditch, and it seems the director must have been shot by terrorists before he had a chance to shoot any of his own movie.
