This movie was a notorious flop after it was released in 1970, earning back a little over 10% of its $11 million budget, an enormous sum for the time (approximately $80.5 million in 2022 dollars). The movie's failure solidified Sir Sean Connery's reputation for being box-office poison outside of James Bond, and torpedoed Richard Harris' chance at superstar status. Connery's career continued its non-Bond stall throughout the 1970s (with the notable exception of John Huston's L'uomo che volle farsi re (1975)), and Harris' career as a leading man continued to decline until it went into eclipse in the middle of the same decade. While Connery re-established himself as a superstar in the 1980s, Harris never again was a front-rank star, though he wound up as a respectable and in-demand character actor later in his career.
