Banned in all Pakistan's cinemas: 10th July 1970.
The line by Alpha60 that begins "Time is the substance of which I am made" is paraphrased from the 1946 essay "A New Refutation of Time" by famous Argentinean writer and fantasist Jorge Luis Borges, which reads: "Our destiny is not frightful by being unreal; it is frightful because it is irreversible and iron-clad. Time is the substance I am made of. Time is a river which sweeps me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger which destroys me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire which consumes me, but I am the fire. The world, unfortunately, is real; I, unfortunately, am Borges."
Jean-Luc Godard appropriated both the title character and the actor Eddie Constantine from a popular French series of kiss-kiss-bang-bang films released from 1953 (Poison Ivy) to 1963 (Your Turn, Darling).
