Fredrick Frosyth's classic! Back when Africa was a giant free-fire zone and Marseille was the most dangerous port in the world. That movies, along with The Wild Geese, stoked my interest in mercenaries, leading to collecting Soldier of Fortune magazines back in the early 80's.

That was a good flick, I saw it back in the 80s on HBO. Now it is a collector's item for outrageous prices.
