- TriviaOnly 3 days after the film's release In the US, it was aired on television.
- GoofsWhen Fabienne takes ice cubes out of the fridge in one hand while holding the ice bucket in another, it can be clearly seen that the amount of ice is not enough to fill even the half of the ice bucket. However in the next frame after dropping ice in the sink, she walks out of the kitchen with the ice bucket, overfilled with ice cubes.

Fabienne Martin: Killing him wouldn't be murder; it would be like cleaning a cesspool.
- Alternate versionsTo receive a UK 'A' cinema certificate the film was cut by the BBFC to remove the sound of a neck break and a brief scene of nudity, and to edit the shooting of a man with a flare gun. It was later reissued with a 'AA' (now 15) certificate and the cuts restored.

Featured review
Decent Bronson Picture
Cold Sweet (1970)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Charles Bronsplay plays Joe Martin, a man living a happy life with his wife (Liv Ullmann) and her daughter. All of that is thrown out the window when his past comes back to haunt him. Captain Ross (James Mason) demands that Joe use his boat for a drug trade and this leads to a cat and mouse game.
Terrence Young directs this entertaining if rather light weight action picture that fans of the action legend will enjoy while others will probably not be overly entertained by the thin plot. There's no question that the plot really isn't all that original and that a re-write certainly wouldn't have hurt. Even by 1970 we had seen countless movies dealing with the family man and his past catching up with him.
What keeps COLD SWEET moving and entertaining is the fact that you've got a wonderful group of actors. Bronson was just a natural at playing this soft-talking tough guys and he turns in a good performance. Both Ullmann and Mason certainly have much more important roles in their careers but it's still fun seeing them in a film like this. Jill Ireland plays a hippie chick and it's Luigi Pistilli who steals the picture as a cold-hearted bad guy.
COLD SWEET features some very good action scenes including the finale with an excellent sequence of a car going down the side of a cliff that is highly entertaining. Again, this is a fun action film but one wishes that there was a bit more to the story.
