Footnotes

Hammer produced several shorts which fell mainly into the drama, travelogue or musical categories. This one is of the dramatic variety and features Douglas Wilmer, who later played Christopher Lee’s arch-enemy Nayland Smith in “The Brides of Fu Manchu” (1966) and “The Vengeance of Fu Manchu” (1967).

While shooting exteriors on location in Denmark, Michael Carreras, Len Harris and Harry Oakes filmed enough footage to create the documentary short “Copenhagen”.
