Trivia
When Mark (Lee Patterson) and Margaret (Susan Beaumont) visit the pawnbroker, the camera pans around and we see the name board of the street opposite. It is Balcombe Street, NW1. In 1975, the street was the scene of a siege in which members of the I.R.A. held off the police for six days; they held occupants of the house hostage.

Errores
When Mark and Margaret visit the pawnbroker the man calls Mark Mr Trevor. Mark tells him his surname is Brett but, when they are leaving, the pawnbroker again calls him Mr Trevor.

Citas
Sir Robert Wyvern: I have qualms about the verdict.
Mr. Justice Manton: Well, I have none. Our business, Robert, is justice. A mediaeval curse, story, what you will, alters nothing!

I Love this Film

'The Spaniard's Curse' is no masterpiece, its an easily forgotten 'thriller' with an unbelievable plot and no real pace but despite this i still love it.

It is lovable in its stupidity without realisation much like my passion for Bollywood films with their over the top zoom-ins and backlit beauties with hair blowing in the wind. 'The Spandiard's Curse' presents an over-the-top London where all people either speak the Queen's English or Cockney Ryhming Slang, a world where a ancient curse can be used to murder people and a world where people can seriously wear a bathrobe with a cravat.

There are also a few moments of genuine quality here, I like the scene where the murderer runs through how 'the murderer' would have done the crime - a stunning moment of good performance - stunning because for a brief moment you realize this guy can act and really should be doing something better. I also like the ending because it certainly is surprising and actually gives the film a kind of resonance it was otherwise lacking.

Overall a great film that you really must see to understand its appeal.
