Anecdotes
After watching rushes from the first day of filming, Peter Sellers leapt to his feet and said "Thank God we caught it in time!" He felt his performance was so bad that the movie should be cancelled. He was eventually persuaded to continue.

Gaffes
When the flock of birds flies into the air at the grouse shoot, the hand of the person releasing them is visible at the bottom of the screen.

A Horrible Film

One of a succession of self-regarding flops typical of Peter Sellars' choice of projects by the end of the sixties when not performing as court jester at Clarence House and Windsor Castle.

As Spike Milligan (who plays a traffic warden paid to eat his own ticket) observed, "The whole thing could have been written ABOUT Peter instead of FOR him". We are never told the source of the fabulous wealth that enables Guy Grand to humiliate those less wealthy than himself (i.e. everybody else), but he never seems to show any inclination even towards Christian Grey's nebulous ambition to "end world hunger" rather than just have fun at the expense of others.

Yul Brynner does look astonishingly attractive in drag, however.
