Three of the seven juvenile actors and actresses who play the Hook children, Margaret Leclere (Elsa), Pamela Franklin (Diana), and Phoebe Nicholls (Gerty), went on to further success and developed enduring movie and television careers as adults. Mark Lester also had later successes, most famously in the title role in Oliver! (1968). He gave up acting in the early 1980s and became an osteopath.
Regarded as a disappointment by many critics, this film was very little-seen in the 1960s, and has only very occasionally appeared on British television in more than fifty years since. However, the Italian director Luchino Visconti was a great admirer of it.
The prayer that Diana (Pamela Franklin) recites when her mother dies comes from the Song of Solomon 3:4. The verse concludes with the sentence, "I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him to my mother's house, to the chamber of the one who conceived me." That passage also is the source of the film's title.
This movie marked the second of five collaborations between doirector Jack Clayton and noted French composer Georges Delerue, who had previously written the score for Clayton's The Pumpkin Eater (1964). After an interval of sixteen years, they reunited for Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983), although the production was troubled, with Disney forcing Clayton to replace Delerue's original music (which was considered too dark) with a new score by James Horner. Delerue composed the music for Clayton's last two projects, The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne (1987) and Screen Two: Memento Mori (1992), which was televised a month after Delerue's death.
Dirk Bogarde does not appear until halfway into the movie.
"Charlie Hook: When your mother died, I mean, what happened about the funeral? Hubert: There wasn't one. We buried her in the garden."
