• Creator's Favorite Episode:
  • This film was reportedly a favorite of Vincent Price's, as he had always wanted the chance to act in Shakespeare, but found himself typecast because of his work in horror films.
  • Diana Rigg regarded this as her best film.
• Fake Brit: The American Vincent Price as the British Edward Lionheart.
• Romance on the Set: Vincent Price was introduced to his future wife Coral Browne by Diana Rigg during the making of the film. Browne recalled in a television documentary Caviar to the General in 1990, that she had not wanted to make "one of those scary Vincent Price movies" but she was persuaded to take the part of Chloe Moon by her friends Robert Morley and Michael Hordern, acknowledging that the film thus had a very strong cast. Rigg introduced the couple, ignorant of the fact that Price was married.
