- TriviaConquest's car is a 1952 Frazer Nash Targa Florio, one of only 14 made. Red in colour, original registration number DEB 340. The Frazer Nash registry gives the chassis number 421/200/171 for this car.
- GoofsA continuity error - at 35m 30s (depending on your copy), see the taxi, registration number DGH 295 - see the number plate half way up the grille, and at 36m 10s see the design of the vehicle, then see at 36m 13s when the taxi stops - the number plate is below the front bumper and the grille is a different shape. It is a totally different vehicle.
- Quotes
Norman Conquest: It's a long way to the pavement. He was killed instantly?
Supt. Williams: That's a very clever piece of deduction.

Featured review
PI Tom Conway gets mixed up with some spy stuff involving Eva Bartok and Richard Wattis.
It's a cheap, dull affair, with an aging Conway irresistible to the ladies, and done as cheaply as possible. Tom slugs a number of men with guns, undercranked car rides go on for a minute at a time, and there's an organ score by Philip Green consisting of two bars of music repeated every now and again. Miss Bartok looks like she's fourteen years old, dressed in her mother's evening gown. His regular girlfriend, Joy Shelton, is named Pixie, but Conway always calls her 'sweetheart', like he's Bogart with an English accent. The editing is atrocious.
Sid James appears as the police detective who's perpetually exasperated by Conway. I know how he feels. By the time everything was cleared up, I didn't care.
