| Trivia | The only double the producers could find for Christopher Lee was the circus' real lion tamer, who Lee described as being "half my height". In order to make the situation credible, 6'4" Lee was shot in close-up, so the height differential would not be too obvious to the audience. According to Lee, he wore a black mask through 90% of the movie anyway. See more » |
| Goofs | In the main robbery scene, there are twelve extremely large bags of money, but later at the end the Scotland Yard detective says "well we recovered the money, but not the murderer" and all of the stolen money has been condensed into one ordinary suitcase. See more » |

| Quotes |
Barberini:
Two years ago he was involved in a serious accident and very badly scarred. He carries on the act in the family tradition but never without the mask. See more » |
