Trivia / After the Fox

• Creator Couple: Married couple Peter Sellers and Britt Ekland act together in this film.
• Fake Nationality: British Peter Sellers and Swedish Britt Ekland play Italian siblings Aldo and Gina Vanucci.
• Hostility on the Set:
  • Peter Sellers and Vittorio De Sica clashed due to a language barrier (he complained that the director "thinks in Italian; I think in English") and attempted to have De Sica replaced. De Sica for his part grew impatient with his petulant star; indeed, he cared for neither Sellers' performance nor Simon's screenplay.
  • Sellers also became unhappy with his wife Britt Ekland's performance, straining their relationship and triggering open arguments, during one of which Sellers threw a chair at Ekland.
• Produced by Cast Member: This was the first film produced by Peter Sellers' new Brookfield production company, which he formed in partnership with John Bryan, a former production designer. It was also their last production, as Sellers and Bryan had a rift over Sellers's Hostility on the Set with Vittorio De Sica, as while Sellers wanted to replace De Sica, Bryan resisted for financial and artistic reasons.
• Uncredited Role:
  • Timothy Bateson as Michael O'Reilly.
  • David Lodge as a police officer.
