Curiosidades

Intent to Kill is a 1958 British film noir thriller directed by Jack Cardiff and starring Richard Todd, Betsy Drake and Herbert Lom. The film was based on the 1957 novel of the same name by Brian Moore. It was shot on location in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, with an international cast of European and North American actors.

Production

Richard Todd claims he was forced to make the film under his contract with Fox. He called it "a stinker. It was a melodramatic, unbelievable thriller" which "had all the merits of a run-of-the-mill TV drama." He says it was shot over eight weeks at Elstree, saying it was "a totally forgettable picture, and I don't think I ever saw the finished product. I can't even recall the story."
