- Harsher in Hindsight: As was standard in movies made at the time, Everybody Smokes. Both Laurence Harvey and Simone Signoret would eventually die of smoking-related cancers.
- Once Original, Now Common: It may seem tame by today's standards, but this was the first British movie to depict sex as an enjoyable act, and while there were other British movies that had depicted adultery (Brief Encounter), none had done so as explicitly as this film at the time.
- Retroactive Recognition:
- First credited role of Ian Hendry, who plays Cyril.
- Reggie is played by Kenneth Waller, who would later be best known for playing Old Mr. Grace in Are You Being Served? and Grandad in Bread.
- A council office worker is played by Prunella Scales, who would later be best known for playing Sybil Fawlty in Fawlty Towers.
