- Acclaimed Flop: The film received rave reviews from critics on both sides of the Atlantic, with Stanley being nominated for an Oscar and Attenborough winning a BAFTA, but it failed to make back its budget, ultimately contributing to the demise of production company Allied Film Makers.
- Fake Brit: Myra Savage is played by American actress Kim Stanley (at the time, better known for her stage and television work; she also provided the adult Scout's narration in the 1962 adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird), whose New Mexico accent keeps peeking through Myra's ostensibly English accent.
- Real-Life Relative:
- Nanette Newman, who plays Mrs Clayton, was married to the film's director, Bryan Forbes.
- DS Beedle is played by Gerald Sim, whose sister Sheila was married to Richard Attenborough, who both produced the film and played the role of Billy Savage.
- What Could Have Been: The role of Myra was originally offered to Deborah Kerr and Simone Signoret, both of whom turned it down.
