When Nichole (Noëlle Adam) had to slap Jennifer (Gillian Hills) in a scene, Jennifer kept anticipating the slap and turning her head prematurely, so on one final attempt Nichole went for it and caught her with a real hard slap not giving her a chance to pre-empt the slap.

The soundtrack album was the U.K.'s first long-playing record devoted to a single movie score.

Gillian Hills said Adam Faith was so normal and natural and under-playing everything, while she was overdoing everything "like a fourteen-year-old Shelley Winters".
