Trivia

When Celia Imrie puts a worm into her mouth, it is not a prop or a special effect. She really did put a worm in her mouth and seemingly chew it, only to spit it out after the shot was in the can. No worms were harmed in the making of the film. See more »

Goofs

Continuity: At Midgewaller & Sons, when Mr. Brown finds the card for the deceased Thadius Quickly, not only does the handwriting differ later at home, but the red swatch pinned to the card differs as well. See more »
