Tiara Tahiti (1962 Ted Kotcheff)

A strange title not explained by writers. John Mills and James Mason duelled, Herbert Lom is a Chinaman. And Roy Kinnear's in it briefly. It was a surprise to see Rosenda Monteros in topless beach scene (film was originally classified 'A'). Claude Dauphin was in Two for the Road (as the architect) and the policeman is Jacques Marin (Charade / Marathon Man).

Otto Heller shot it in his unmistakable colours and Anthony Gibbs cut it (dancing sequence memorable).
