      Michael Winner wanted Oliver Reed for the role of Joe Beckett, but producer Daniel M. Angel rejected him for being a B actor. He rejected Sean Connery for the same reason.
    • Goofs
      On the train, the fan with the newspaper is asked how Ipswich (football club) are doing. He responds: "they're losing, one down". He's asked again and repeats "one down", but the Football Half Time score shown in the close up of the paper states that Ipswich were winning 1-0 against Fulham.
    • Quotes

      Mr. Royce: Breakdown on the Central Line again, Mr Beckett?

      Joe Beckett: Yeah, that's right.

      Mr. Royce: It won't do, Mr. Beckett. It's not good enough.

      Joe Beckett: I set off at half past eight, Mr, Royce.

      Mr. Royce: Then we have to set off just that little bit earlier. Business in this establishment commences at 9.00 am. We don't require you here at ten-to, but we don't expect you here at ten past. Nine o'clock.

      Joe Beckett: [sotto voce] Aw, shut up.

      Mr. Royce: And we don't wear coloured shirts during business hours, Mr Beckett, whatever we may do outside.

    Rather strange
    With writers who were at the heart of the British new wave and set in a run down Notting Gill,as it was,I was expecting a touch of social realism.However what we get is a film that after much coveting of an X certificate,tends to go into lurid melodrama in the last third.However it was good to see Kathleen Harrison and Frieda Jackson,Finlay Currie and of course Diana Dors.A cast to cherish even if the film is not
