Interesting facts

Hard Contract is a 1969 American drama mystery film written and directed by S. Lee Pogostin and starring James Coburn and Lee Remick. It premiered on April 30, 1969, in Panavision.

Production

Pogostin was an award-winning TV writer and director, who had written some features including Pressure Point. Producer Marvin Swartz approached him to see if he was interested in adaptating a story for the screen. Pogostin instead pitched an original story of his, Hard Contract, and Schwarz was enthusiastic. Pogostin insisted on directing. Schwartz financed the writing of the script over 15 months.

Filming began in May 1968. The film was shot in Spain, Belgium and Tangier. "It's an allegory," said Coburn. "It's a very violent film, but the violence is of the mind."
