Although Dr Crippen was hanged in 1910, his lover Ethel Le Neve was still alive when this film was released (she died in 1967).
Donald Pleasence received the script for Dr Crippen (1963) while he was making The Great Escape (1963). His friend David McCallum, with whom he was working on The Great Escape at the time and lived next door to during filming, told Pleasence not to do the film. But Pleasence did accept the role because he felt it was a good part. Pleasence started filming immediately after finishing The Great Escape.
DNA testing has divided opinion as to the guilt of Dr Crippen - There are a wealth of resources to follow, far exceeding the scope of this entry. Examples of questions raised both before and after DNA testing have been: The 'remains of Crippen's wife Cora' were in fact those of a man? Why were said remains filleted? Where were the bones?
Final film of Olga Lindo.
James Robertson Justice receives a "Guest Star" credit.
"Dr. Crippen: Belle, I'm going to have to ask you to get rid of those young men. Belle Elmore: Oh, you are, are you? Well, we have to take in lodgers. I'm not using my money to run this house for you. Dr. Crippen: I'm not criticizing them or you, it's just that this isn't a home anymore. Belle Elmore: I didn't know it ever was a home. Dr. Crippen: You were happy here when we first moved in. Belle Elmore: The house is alright. Dr. Crippen: I realize I'm not everything you could wish for in a husband, but our life together isn't all that bad. Belle Elmore: Maybe not for you. Dr. Crippen: You have everything you need. I doubt if any of your... friends have more jewelry or clothes. Belle Elmore: That's not all a woman needs. Dr. Crippen: We've talked about that so many times. Belle Elmore: That's right, and all we ever do is talk about it."
