Curiosità

The Scorpio Letters is a 1967 American-British made-for-TV movie directed by Richard Thorpe and starring Alex Cord, Shirley Eaton and Laurence Naismith. It was written by Jo Eisinger and Adrian Spies based on the 1964 novel of the same title by Victor Canning.

Production

The film was produced by MGM Television and shot mainly at MGM studios in Hollywood. It was the last film directed by Thorpe in a lengthy and prolific career.

There are significant differences between the book and the film version, which was designed to take advantage of the spy boom following the success of James Bond. Eaton was imported from Britain to play the female lead and her Bond link was advertised by billing her as "The Goldfinger Girl".

The film's sets were designed by the art directors Addison Hehr and George W. Davis. As it was intended for a cinematic run in several markets, particularly in Europe, it was made with higher production values than was often common for television films.
