Wissenswertes
The car that Harry Andrews drives in the film is a Pontiac Parisienne, formerly owned by Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett and re-sprayed pink for the film. You can see Pontiac on the rear of the car when Sloane drunkenly returns to the house one night and Parisienne on the boot when Andrews removes a shotgun from it.

Patzer
When Andrews, Reid and McEnery are laying out the dead guy, the 'deceased's movements clearly indicate that he is at least undead.

Zitate
Sloane: [to Ed (having just murdered Ed's father)] You wouldn't put me away, would you?... I'm impressionable. Think what the nick would do to me. I'd pick up criminal connections.

Crazy Credits
Instead of "The End" the last title reads "AMEN".

Entertaining Mr Sloane

Joe Orton's classic play is bought to the big screen and features just 4 eccentric characters. Young lothario, arch manipulator and potentially murderer. McEnery cons his way into love starved Beryl Reid's house by a graveyard where she lives with her old father, Webb. All is well but McEnery needs his wits about him when Reid's gay businessman brother Harry Andrews arrives.

The script is all in this witty, very dark black comedy, although the performances are spot on with Reid wonderful as the sad, past it sex mad landlady and particularly Andrews in full military swagger preaching morals to McEnery whilst still longing to get into his pants. Hilarious.
