Could you convert this from Dutch to English for me: Deze veel te lange film was gebaseerd op een van Jack Higgins' eerste romans. Hij heeft sindsdien veel boeken geschreven & ze zijn bijna allemaal veel beter geweest.John Sturgis regisseerde dit & het was zijn laatste regisseursprestatie. Hij had een zeer gemengde carrière. Zijn beste was THE MAGIFICENT SEVEN, zijn slechtste was MAROONED. Deze film lijkt meer op Marooned dan op Magnificent Seven.Tom Mankiewicz heeft dit van Higgins' roman overgenomen, Tom heeft veel scenario's geschreven, soms valt de appel ver van de boom.

This overly long film was based on one of Jack Higgins first novels, He has written many books since & nearly all of them have been far better.John Sturgis directed this & it was his final directorial effort.He had a very mixed career. His best was THE MAGIFICENT SEVEN,His worst was MAROONED. This effort is closer to Marooned than Magnificent Seven.Tom Mankiewicz adapted this from Higgins' novel, Tom wrote many screenplays, sometimes the apple falls far from the tree. Tom's father was the award winning director/writer Joseph (ALL ABOUT EVE) & his Uncle Herman, worked with Orson Welles on CITIZEN KANE.The cast includes some of the top stars of 1976(year of release) Micheal Caine, Donald Sutherland,Robert Duval,Donald Pleasance,Larry Hagman & Treat William, also Jenny Aguiter & Jean Marsh plus others.Nearly every one was either miscast or vastly changed from the original novel. In the book they all were flesh & blood,you were able to care for each one.
