Footnotes

Reviews for this film were mixed to negative. 

The Monthly Film Bulletin of the U.K. wrote that the film “may be forgiven for tampering with a classic, but not for doing so with such a depressing lack of either wit or competence … Silliness, in fact, has got the better of the film to such an extent that even its most calculatedly vicious episodes appear only mildly grotesque”.

Variety gave the film a good review, praising Paul Massie for an “interesting performance” and Jack Asher for “colorful and sure” camerawork.

The film lost Hammer an estimated £30,000.
