Er erpresst mit seinem Wissen eine Beteiligung an ihrem nächsten Coup, welcher sie direkt in die flimmernde Hitze Marokkos entführt. Um hinter die Geheimnisse des Plans zu kommen, schmeißt sich Grant an das Model Claudia. Aber auch Inspektor Barrada und seine wunderschöne Gehilfin Michelle sind der Truppe bereits auf den Fersen...

Maroc 7 is a 1967 British thriller film directed by Gerry O'Hara, starring Gene Barry, Cyd Charisse, Elsa Martinelli, Leslie Phillips and Denholm Elliott.

Production

In March 1966 Rank announced it would make nine films with a total cost of £7.5 million of which it would provide £4 million. Two films were financed by Rank completely: a Norman Wisdom movie and a "doctor" comedy (Doctor on Toast which became Doctor in Trouble). The others were The Quiller Memorandum, Deadlier than the Male, Maroc Seven, Red Hot Ferrari (never made), The Fifth Coin (never made), The Battle of Britain and The Long Duel.

It was produced by actor Leslie Phillips who worked 18 months setting up the movie and recalled "money was a little difficult towards the end, with the credit squeeze."

Phillips had seen The Pleasure Girls (1965) and hired its director Gerry O'Hara, who was under contract to Sydney Box. According to O'Hara, Gene Barry replaced a German actor who pulled out of the film. O'Hara said the film was "not a very happy experience... I went over budget. There were lots of problems."

The instrumental theme song, "Maroc 7", by The Shadows, was released as a single and rose to No. 24 on the UK singles chart in April 1967.

On the release of the film, a novelisation of the screenplay was published by John Burke, writing as "Martin Sands."
