1st film with a former WWII British officer and the 2nd one with his batman(orderly).

"During his work with the Film Unit, Peter Ustinov, though one of the script-writers, had to pose as Niven’s batman (essentially his servant). Niven explained in his autobiography that there was no military way that he, as a lieutenant-colonel, and Ustinov, who was only a private, could associate, other than as an officer and his subordinate, hence their strange “act”. Ustinov later appeared with Niven in Death on the Nile (1978)."
