Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia Filming was interrupted on location when leading man Dave Clark complained about the film's costumes to Alexander Jacobs, who was the assistant to the film's producer, David Deutsch. Jacobs was married to the costume designer and reacted to Clark's remarks by punching him in the face. Clark's nose became, for a short time, extremely swollen and he could not be photographed, but he responded well to emergency medical treatment and shooting eventually continued. See more »
Goofs Since Britain's military training and target areas would most certainly be fenced-off and clearly sign-posted, the notion that hippies could (or even would) squat inside an obviously bombed-out building or that Steve and Dinah could simply drive a vehicle into such a danger zone is ludicrous at best, not to mention that an armed platoon of soldiers wouldn't check ahead for any potential trespassers before opening fire.

Quotes Zissell: She could be anywhere.
Duffie: Well, that's why you chose her, isn't it? I mean, that's her image. Rootless. Classless. Kooky! Product of affluence. Typical of modern youth.
Zissell: Have you tried the boys' flat?
