No place (UK), 1967. [Movie Memorabilia] Press book for the MGM film The Heroin Gang, adapted from the novel 'The Friut of the Poppy' by Robert Wilder. Sole printing. 32 x 24cm. A six-page fold out brochure providing cast and credits, film story and advertising. One horizontal fold else fine. A result of the '60s spy fiction craze, this is a narcotics thriller directed by Brian G. Hutton, starring David McCallum, Stella Stevens, Telly Savalas and Ricardo Montalbán. Actor John Cassavetes was replaced by Rip Torn prior to filming. McCallum was a household name due to Ian Fleming's brainchild series The Man From U.N.C.L.E., and Telly Savalas would star in the following year's blockbuster James Bond film. The Heroin Gang was produced by Elliott Kastner, who had a successful partnership with thriller writer Alistair MacLean, adaptating his novels Where Eagles Dare, When Eight Bells Toll, Fear is the Key and Breakheart Pass.
