A fast-paced actioner released at the height of the James Bond craze, Pattern For PIunder was the last major starring role for Swedish actress Mai Zetterling. First brought to audiences' attention in the lngmar Bergman-written Torment (1944) she had her real breakthrough roIe in Freida (1947) opposite David Farrar. She worked again with Bergman on Music in Darkness (1948), foIIowed by Quartet (1948), The Romantic Age (1949), and Only Two Can Play (1962). At the time of Pattern For Plunder's filming, Mai thought herseIf a bit too old for starlet roles (though it didn't stop her from having a sexy lingerie scene) and by the end of the year had gotten into directing with her short film The War Game (1963). Her first feature, Loving Couples (1964), was banned from the Cannes FiIm FestivaI for its sexuaI expIicitness but was almost universaIly praised by critics. Other films directed by this pioneering femaIe fiImmaker incIude Night Games (1966), Doctor Glas (1968) and The Girls (1968). Co-star Keenan Wynn sports an uncharacteristic beard in a rare dashing Ieading roIe. A beloved character actor, he is best remembered for his parts in Annie Get Your Gun (1950), The Absent Minded Professor (1961), and Dr. Strangelove (1964) as weII as scores of memorable teIevision guest appearances. RonaId Howard, the son of tragic British actor Leslie Howard, pIayed Sherlock HoImes in a syndicated teIevision series that began running in the US in the falI of 1954. |
