TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Peter Cook's wife, Wendy was nine months pregnant when filming began. Producer and director Bryan Forbes promised them that he would let Peter leave the set as soon as Wendy went into labor. He kept his word, and Peter made it to the hospital just in time for the birth of his daughter, Daisy. Forbes, Dudley Moore, Sir Michael Caine, and Peter Sellers filled his dressing room with flowers and champagne, in celebration of Daisy's birth, when he returned to work.

This movie was notable for casting a significant group of England's prominent British actors and actresses and English comedians of its mid 1960s era.

When Sir Ralph Richardson was offered the part of Joseph Finsbury, he was finishing work on Doctor Zhivago (1965). Richardson wrote to producer and director Bryan Forbes from the location in Spain, and asked if he could wear the same jacket he had worn as Alexander in Doctor Zhivago (1965). Forbes agreed, and Richardson did so.

Bryan Forbes once apologised to Sir Ralph Richardson for keeping him waiting before shooting a scene. Richardson, who had just finished shooting Doctor Zhivago, said "My dear Professor (as he called Forbes) you forget I have just been working for David Lean. Compared to him, you are the speed of light."

The source novel "The Wrong Box" (1889) was the first of three novels that Robert Louis Stevenson co-wrote with his stepson Lloyd Osbourne. The subsequent books were "The Wrecker" (1892) and "The Ebb-Tide" (1894).

Popular Dialogues

"[the doctor, owner of dozens of cats, is coughing] Doctor Pratt: I'm all right; it's just a fur ball; it's nothing. Strangely, I haven't had fur for a fortnight."

"Doctor Pratt: Well, it'll cost you five shillings. Morris Finsbury: Price is no object. Doctor Pratt: Right. Ten shillings, then. Payable in advance."
