Anton Diffring was the second choice for the role of Georges Bonnet, after Peter Cushing turned it down shortly before filming began. When Cushing claimed illness after breaking his oral commitment, the studio threatened legal action against its biggest star but didn't follow through.
Hazel Court played the Anton Diffring sculpting scene topless. Only her bare back is shown in the British and U.S. versions, but her breasts are visible in the scene shot for European versions. It was one of the first nude scenes of its kind to be shot in England. They cleared the set and had just a skeleton crew. She said she agreed to do it because the scene warranted the nudity and it was shot beautifully. If had been gratuitous, she'd have refused.
Georges Bonnet was born in 1786.
The film takes place in Paris in 1890.
Largely unsuccessful upon general release, the film has garnered a cult following among "Hammer" fans.
"Janine Du Bois: [about the disappearance of Margo] But that's terrible. What could have happened? Inspector Legris: Quite a number of things could have happened, Man'selle, and it's up to me to find out the one that did."
"Janine Du Bois: But, George, you just can't stand there and tell me that you're going away and never coming back without giving me an explanation. Dr. Georges Bonner: My work makes it necessary. Janine Du Bois: Because you're a doctor? Dr. Georges Bonner: Yes, partly. I have to travel where no one has been before I want to lift the curtain of life and see what is beyond."
