The car that Harry Andrews drives in the film is a Pontiac Parisienne, formerly owned by Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett and re-sprayed pink for the film. You can see Pontiac on the rear of the car when Sloane drunkenly returns to the house one night and Parisienne on the boot when Andrews removes a shotgun from it.
The original Broadway production of "Entertaining Mr. Sloane" by Joe Orton opened at the Lyceum Theater in New York on October 12, 1965 and ran for 13 performances. The Joe Orton play was the basis for the screenplay by Clive Exton for the movie version.
At one stage, James Mason and Vivien Leigh were being courted to star.
Some posters for the film feature a scantily clad young blonde woman in the foreground. This relates to no character in the film whatsoever and seems to be an attempt to give a misleading impression about the story (Sloane has exploitative sexual relationships with a middle-aged woman and her brother).
When the crew needed dressing rooms, they asked at Marmora Road which is opposite the cemetery where the house in the film is. Beryl Reid refused to "lower" herself to using an ordinary house as her dressing room and they had to get a caravan for her and park it in the street outside.
"Sloane: [to Ed (having just murdered Ed's father)] You wouldn't put me away, would you?... I'm impressionable. Think what the nick would do to me. I'd pick up criminal connections."
"Ed: Women are like banks boy, breaking and entry is a serious offence."
