Duffy is a 1968 British-American comedy crime film directed by Robert Parrish and starring James Coburn, James Mason, James Fox and Susannah York.[1] Originally called "Avec-Avec", French for "with-it", according to 1967 press reports, Columbia Pictures changed the title of the movie, despite the protests of the stars.[2]
It was shot at Shepperton Studios and on location in Almería. The film's sets were designed by the art director Philip Harrison.
