Filmed on the abandoned sets built in London for Cleopatra (1963).
The costume worn by Sidney James in this film is the one worn by Richard Burton in Cleopatra (1963).
The line of dialogue said by Julius Caesar (Kenneth Williams, "Infamy...Infamy.....they've all got it in for me!", became particularly well-known because of this movie. It has been voted as one of the all-time ever funniest one-liner jokes in a movie.
The voice-over narration in the film was a joke and was voiced by the esteemed E.V.H. Emmett, an important man of gravitas, who had done extensive vocal work for the Gaumont British News newsreels from the 1930s, 40s and 50s.
The owners of the British department store Marks and Spencer were alerted to a send-up of their store's name ("Marcus and Spencius") and associated use of the store's colours (green and gold) and called in their lawyers. Legal action was averted when it was explained that no slight against the store was intended, and the owners settled for an apology and a letter of explanation to be sent to a leading newspaper. This idea was later dropped, however, and the incident forgotten.
"Julius Caesar: Infamy, infamy. They've all got it in for me."
"[running gag] Julius Caesar: Friends, Romans... Whoever happens to be next to him: Countrymen. Julius Caesar: I know!"
