- TriviaAccording to cast member Patrick Macnee, the "Lord Mountdrago" segment was mostly directed by star Orson Welles. This claim is supported by the abundance of high-angle, wide-angle and deep focus shots Welles was known for.
- Quotes
George Wheeler ("You Killed Elizabeth" segment): How was Manchester?
Edgar Curtain ("You Killed Elizabeth" segment): Wet, in every sense of the word. Those boys can really throw a party.

Featured review
Superb
British anthology from the 1950's when the world was black and white, smoking was considered healthy & most people spoke with a plum in their mouths. Eamonn Andrews introduces three stories. The first is about a mysterious painting in an art gallery, the second a love triangle and the third a deadly tale of two political enemies. The first & third feature the supernatural. Each riveting story features a different director but they are all of a high calibre. I think it would have been slightly better had the second story also featured the supernatural, but only a minor quibble.
As a film fan of over 35 years I only discovered this gem when it was screened on British TV two days ago. Superb.
