Director John Schlesinger claimed that the original idea for this movie came from a chance remark made to him by newspaper columnist and television personality Godfrey Winn, when the latter was playing a brief acting role (as himself) in Billy Liar (1963). The character of Diana Scott was based on a real person whom Winn had known.
The "vox pop" TV interviews conducted by Dirk Bogarde's character with people in the street were all done with genuine members of the public, not actors, and were not scripted.
According to Richard Gregson, this movie only earned two hundred fifty thousand pounds sterling in Britain, but Nat Cohen sold the U.S. rights to Executive Producer Joseph E. Levine for nine hundred thousand dollars and made a profit, and the movie was a big hit in the U.S.
The second of three movie collaborations between Director John Schlesinger and Julie Christie. The first was Billy Liar (1963) and the third, Far from the Madding Crowd (1967). He also directed her in a TV production of "Separate Tables" in the 1980s.
Sir Dirk Bogarde was due eight percent of the net profits. According to his biographer, John Coldstream, this had amounted to less than twenty thousand dollars by the time of Bogarde's death.
"Diana Scott: Taxi! Robert Gold: We're not taking a taxi. Diana Scott: Why not? Robert Gold: I don't take whores in taxis. Diana Scott: What do mean? Robert Gold: That's what you are isn't it? A little whore! Isn't it?"
"Diana Scott: Poor Miles. You can't risk feeling anything, can you? Miles Brand: I shall survive. Diana Scott: Of course! As long as you remain impotent. Miles Brand: My impotence, my darling, makes a pair with your virginity. Diana Scott: Impotent in every way, except in bed. Miles Brand: Don't underestimate me, my dear. I can also be very effective on the telephone."
