Trivia
The Woman of Mystery is listed in the initial end credits (of principle actors and actresses only, each displayed individually, not as a list) as played by Liz Molytar, the last name being an anagram of Taylor, plus the letter M (for mystery?). The character, who appeared only in the final seconds of this movie, is recognizably Dame Elizabeth Taylor, but without a speaking part. See more »Quotes
Oliver Larker: [narrating] I haven't been away from my flat in 9 years, and 6 mysteries. But, I suppose the creator of a private eye has to get out in public every so often. And I hate to travel - unless it's in the Commonwealth. Otherwise you meet so many foreigners, who don't even speak English. And all those beastly tourists - mostly Americans. They don't speak English either.See more »
Crazy Credits
There is a credit for the shoe polish brightening the cast's shoes. See more »Alternate Versions
In the UK version of Holiday in Spain, Elizabeth Taylor is credited as Liz Rolyat, (Taylor spelled backwards). See more »Soundtracks

I was at the premiere in Hollywood (1960) - A first-date thing ......
Didn't know what to expect .. but the pipe tobacco and peach smells (among SEVERAL more) were astounding! Each time you smelled the perfume... you KNEW something bad was going to happen! .....
I don't know how they did it, maybe a hose or fan mounted on the seat in front of you, but when the scene changed, the smell did too !! NEET!
If I remember correctly, the program LISTED all the smells you would encounter during the film as well.
Needless to say, the food smells probably helped the concession stand because the lines were a mile long !!
My date was NOT impressed... (should have made her buy popcorn!)
Too bad, This film followed the 3-D craze and is now gone.
