Trivia
The eponymous theme song, mimed by Anthony May in the film (sung by the song's writer Johnny Worth (aka Les Vandyke)), was a major hit in parallel English and French versions by Englebert Humperdinck and Mireille Mathieu respectively. Both of their versions of the song were released in 1968, shortly after the film's release.

Goofs
Near the end, as the boy and girl walk out of the trees to the song 'Julie,' the boy is on the girl's left. As the camera shot changes to a distant one, they emerge having changed sides. though they had no time to do so.

A time capsule

For those interested in this film, I felt it worth mentioning that it is now available via Optimum Classic/Studio Canal (optd1142) on the same release that features Norman Cohen's utterly wonderful 'The London Nobody Knows'. As you might expect, the DVD is lovingly assembled and the print quality of both films is superb.

Juxtaposing both on the same disc carries some editorial weight: Cohen's London is genuinely (and properly) post-apocalyptic, still reeling from the human and economic tragedies of the Second World War, whereas Hickox describes a shimmering fantasy which, for the fortunate few, was not a million miles from the truth.
