TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

According to actor Michael Murphy, director Saul Bass was very worried about British actress Lynne Frederick being able to sound suitably American for the film, since her character was supposed to be from Arizona. Bass made her run her lines over and over while he listened for any hint of a British accent.

Lynne Frederick was required to wear a specially designed iron clad corset during filming so that she would appear more flat-chested. Kendra, the character she played, was supposed to be about 16 years old (four years younger than Frederick really was at the time), and the director wanted to minimize her voluptuous figure. Frederick was also encouraged by producers to restrict her diet to chicken broth and black coffee.

Science Fiction writer Barry N. Malzberg wrote a novel based on Mayo Simon's original script. As a result, the ending of the novel differs from the film.

After working with actress Lynne Frederick in No Blade of Grass (1970) four years prior, Nigel Davenport personally recommended Frederick for the role of Kendra.

The computer console shown at 39:43 into the movie is the MCB44 Display Unit of an Elliott 903 (1963). Another computer visible is a GEC 4080 (1973).
