In the heart of Africa, police commissioner Sanders (Richard Todd)
is investigating a hospital murder when he discovers a diamond
smuggling plot.
Here, in his own words, are the illustrious adventures of HARRY
ALAN TOWERS, rascal and raconteur, a notorious figure in the world
of cinema of whom it was said he could go into any production
office in the world and walk out with a movie deal. After
establishing himself in 1940s radio with The Lives of Harry Lime
and The Black Museum, both starring Orson Welles, Towers produced
more than 100 feature films all around the world. He worked in 40
countries from Austria to Zimbabwe, starring the likes of Michael
Caine, Christopher Lee, Jack Palance, Klaus Kinski and many more. A
lifelong lover of literature, he brought to the screen the works of
authors as revered as H. G. Wells, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and
Agatha Christie-and as reviled as the Marquis De Sade and Leopold
Von Sacher-Masoch. And as a lifelong lover of women, he made
friends and stars, national news and international scandals. "Harry
Alan Towers is one of the great unsung producers of post-1960
cinema. Every film he produced carries his distinct personality, as
with Selznick or Bronston, but Harry's metier was exploitation.
What he uniquely brought to his films was the sense of a
connoisseur, and a sense of someone who loved pulp; he appreciated
the finer things and smuggled them into some wonderful movies...
and some unlikely ones, too. I'm delighted to learn he wrote his
memoirs, and I can't wait to read them " - TIM LUCAS, editor of
