-==Trivia==
+==Cast==
-* During filming,Connery was encouraged by fellow members of the cast to complain to the film's director,[[Montgomery Tully]],about his character's stutter.Not realising it was a practical joke,Tully apparently himself suffered from a similar handicap,and berated the young actor by allegedly replying, "Who the f-f-f**k do you think you are,L-L-Larry Olivier?".
