When Eight Bells Toll

Based On the book by Alistair MacLean

When Eight Bells Toll (also known as Alistair MacLean's When Eight Bells Toll ) is a 1971 action film directed by Étienne Périer and starring Anthony Hopkins, Jack Hawkins, Robert Morley, and Nathalie Delon.

Producer Elliott Kastner planned to produce a string of realistic gritty espionage thrillers to rival the James Bond series, but the film's poor box office receipts ended his plans.
