English punk/Gothic band, The Damned took their name from this film.
The film was delayed for two years and was not shown in Britain until the Spring of 1963, when it was released as the lower half of a "Hammer Films" double-bill with Maniac (1963). It had been cut a little by "Hammer" (against Joseph Losey's wishes) and was cut further to 87 minutes when it was finally shown in America in 1965. However, the missing footage has been fully restored to the film for the DVD and Blu-ray versions and for 21st-century television showings.
The children's names are Victoria, Elizabeth, Anne, Mary, Richard, Henry, William, George, and Charles. These are all names of queens and kings of England.
Notable early appearance of Oliver Reed.
Although submitted to the BBFC in 1961 the UK release was held back by almost a year after director Joseph Losey delayed making a requested censor cut which showed King beating Wells with his umbrella. Losey eventually made the cut and the film was released in 1963.
"Freya Neilson: A public servant is the only servant who has secrets from his master."
"Simon Wells: How old are you, Victoria? Victoria: I'm 11. We're all 11. We all have our birthdays the same week. Simon Wells: How long have you been here? Victoria: We've been here always. Simon Wells: What about your parents? Don't they come to see you? Victoria: Oh, we were hoping you were our parents."
