Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

Also a classic video game, no? --Mister Tattle 09:04, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cast?

Were Alec Cawthorne, John Matthews, and Eve Channing really in the film? All I can remember is Caine and Olivier. Perhaps the inclusion of these names in the cast list was a red herring?

correct. There are no such people as Alec Cawthorne or Eve Channing. I added information accordingly. I am a bit at a loss about "john matthews", as the man seems to be real, but I don't remember him in the movie. I also don't have the movie, so I can't tell. Dietwald 10:19, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

It was intended to reveal as little about the movie as possible so as to make it a complete surprise to the audience. Hence the false cast at the beginning of the film consisted of fictional people playing roles that did not exist. To have revealed that there were only two actors in the film, would have quite spoiled the surprise.

I will add this note also to the article. Yakksoho 05:31, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
