Linda Hayden has said in interviews that production was delayed because of health problems of major cast members: Dame Elizabeth Taylor's heart and back problems and Laurence Harvey battling cancer.
During the shooting of the movie, Billie Whitelaw's son was ill and sent to hospital. The shooting stopped but resumed two weeks later after Whitelaw returned from her son.
During production of this movie, Laurence Harvey was hit in the face in a fight with his wife, Paulene Stone. He sustained a black eye, which he was afraid would prevent him from completing the movie leading to a breach of contract suit. Concurrently, Dame Elizabeth Taylor had to take time off for illness, resulting in the production being stopped, saving Harvey from what he expected.
Production was suspended for most of August of 1972 because Laurence Harvey underwent an "emergency appendectomy" as it was reported in the press at the time. It was actually an operation for stomach cancer that would eventually kill him in November of 1973.

Inspector... there are two dead bodies in that old building. A man and a woman sitting side by side with their throats... cut. Yes, I know... but you must believe me this time. Won't you inspect that house just once more? Well... then send someone else over... [Ellen gasps as a loud click is heard and then a dial tone. She hangs up the phone] Ellen Wheeler: [breaking character; sinister tone] Heh, I always thought you would say that. [Appleby enters applauding] Appleby: Bravo. Bravo! Superb! Superb performance. Well... that's it then. Your plan complete in every last detail. Pity you also had to include my Burhams. Ellen Wheeler: Sorry about that."
