During production on British Rail's Waterloo & City tube line, a train ran into the buffer stops at the end of the line at Bank station. David Hemmings, Gayle Hunnicutt, and ten extras suffered minor injuries.
Many critics complained that the film's ending - which appears to show Tim to be insane, and therefore (perhaps) the whole story thus far to be a fantasy (possibly drug-induced) - was suddenly imposed and unsatisfactory, and some sources suggested that it might have been the result of last-minute re-editing. However, there are hints quite early on that the narrative is not as straightforward as it seems to be - the dead body of Tim's aunt is discovered by Juliet, who appears to be a complete stranger to Tim, and yet, when he gets back to England, she has suddenly become his fiancee, although there have been no scenes between them of a romantic nature at all, and his time does seem to have been fully occupied with his investigations. This mysterious plot-lacuna is never even referred to, much less explained.
In 1967, Peter O'Toole was announced as the lead.
The author of the original novel, John Bingham, was not only a well-known writer, but Lord Clanmorris.
