A Man Could Get Killed is a 1966 American adventure comedy film directed by Ronald Neame and Cliff Owen, shot on various locations in Portugal, and starring James Garner, Melina Mercouri, Sandra Dee, Anthony Franciosa, and Robert Coote.

Production

Scenes were filmed in Rome and Lisbon. The working title was Welcome, Mr. Beddoes.

The cast had a falling out with director Cliff Owen, who was replaced by Ronald Neame in July 1965. Neame recalled that co-stars James Garner and Tony Franciosa did not get on well, and their fight in the film became a real brawl.

Garner calls the film "disappointing", although he says he enjoyed playing backgammon with Melina Mercouri and her husband Jules Dassin. He did admit to punching Tony Franciosa, claiming it was because he "kept abusing the stunt men" and would not pull his punches in fight scenes.

It was the last film Sandra Dee made under contract to Universal. According to a 1965 interview with the actress, she "begged [the producers] not to make [her] do the picture. So I spent a miserable four months in Lisbon, little fishing villages and in Rome, making a picture that should have taken eight weeks. We had two changes of directors, and I ended up playing Come September all over again."
