Behind the Scenes[]
- Zuroff: "That money you have. Would you kindly put it on the table. I believe it to be twenty six million francs. We want it."
- Clarence Leiter: "That makes it very awkward. Because I want it too."
- Zuroff: "You have exactly ten seconds to do as I say."
As with the other characters in this episode, he represents part of the earliest attempt to adapt a James Bond novel to the screen.
Even though Zuroff has lines, the real life actor was not credited at the end. We do not know who played him, even though the actors playing some more minor parts have been identified.
