Quiz
Michael Winner's tenure working with Daniel M. Angel inspired him to produce his own films, so that he wouldn't have to deal with such interference. Winner remained vindictive about Angel for many years, although it is perhaps worth mentioning that his low opinion was emphatically not shared by many other significant figures in the British film industry, and that Angel's reputation as a producer was generally a high one. It has been widely doubted that a man of his acumen would have turned down Sean Connery or James Mason for leading roles.

Blooper
The influx of people and the difference in the girl represent the passage of time and the character's repeated attempts to find a bed for the night. The original girl passes by and bids him goodnight.

Citazioni
Mr. Royce: Breakdown on the Central Line again, Mr Beckett?
Joe Beckett: Yeah, that's right.
Mr. Royce: It won't do, Mr. Beckett. It's not good enough.
Joe Beckett: I set off at half past eight, Mr, Royce.
Mr. Royce: Then we have to set off just that little bit earlier. Business in this establishment commences at 9.00 am. We don't require you here at ten-to, but we don't expect you here at ten past. Nine o'clock.
Joe Beckett: [sotto voce] Aw, shut up.
Mr. Royce: And we don't wear coloured shirts during business hours, Mr Beckett, whatever we may do outside.

Superb! (but under one condition)

While trying to create a stylish British film noir, Michael Winner unwittingly created an existentialism masterpiece! Only those armed with such expectations will feel that their time is not wasted. Those expecting kitchen sink drama or noir will very probably yawn throughout.

As such, acting in this movie serves its purpose and helps open up the world of boredom, hope and individual aspirations and disappointments. Nicely shot, slowly-paced and with a decent period music deployed to show adequately gloomy passtime activities of the W11 youth and pub-goers of the early 60's, the film satisfies all the criteria required for it to fit into the existentialism category.
