• Robert Morley demanded a fee of fifteen thousand pounds sterling when offered the part of Sir Lancelot Spratt. As this would have constituted nearly one-sixth of this movie's proposed budget, the filmmakers instead hired James Robertson Justice at one-tenth the salary. Justice scored a great personal triumph in this movie, and played the role again in five sequels. It was to remain his best-known movie part.
• The most popular movie of its year at the U.K. box-office.
• This movie was made on a budget of just ninety-seven thousand pounds sterling. Producer Betty Box claimed that it got back almost its entire cost during its initial run at one cinema in London's West End.
