Footnotes

With all of Hammer’s feature output now being handled by the major distributors, after this film only one more new production was released by Exclusive, another featurette entitled “Man with a Dog” (1958). With only a few features from other producers to rely on, plus re-runs of their old Hammers, Exclusive went into steady decline and was finally wound up in 1968.

Details were complied viewing the actual film.
