I am almost sure the phrase "Have a nice day" was used in this movie for the first time. I saw it when it came out, which I can't believe was 1973. The undercover cop who keeps paying off people repeats the phrase over and over.
It was a great movie and should be better recalled.

.The way Richard Jordan phrases it certainly makes it memorable. Also the term "Uncle".
.I just saw where aside from here and "The Yazuka", Jordon and Mitchum also appeared in a two-part episode of "The Equalizer"

This film is the reason I can't, to this day, tell anybody to have a nice day. Whenever I hear it, I see Foley's sincere insincerity.

Nah, it was around before then. I remember it going along with the big yellow smiley faces around 1970-71 or so.

Richard Jordan was such a great douchey and deceitful prick in this film.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.
