The Liquidator Facts
This '60s spy movie features a black-and-white opening sequence, something the James Bond film franchise would not do until Casino Royale.

This movie has never officially been released on home video or DVD but has played on television and the Turner Classic Movie cable channels.

This was the first big spy movie of the 1960s to cast an Australian as its lead secret agent. The movie actually predates the James Bond movie On Her Majesty's Secret Service starring Australian George Lazenby by about four years.

Boysie Oakes' full name was as Brian "Boysie" Oakes.

The secret code letter assigned to agent Boysie Oakes is 'L' as in Liquidator.
