Did You Know?
| Trivia | Scenes for this film were shot at Clapton Greyhound Stadium. Clapton dog track opened 1928, closed 1974. See more » |
| Goofs | When Ricky 'borrows' his brother-in-law's lorry, the front left headlight isn't working. In the next shot it is and then isn't again subsequently. This is quite possible, but in the UK post WW2 it was a requirement for headlights to operate on a 'dip and out' system where on full beam both lamps were lit, but on dip beam the kerbside lamp was turned off while the off side lamp was dipped but still illuminated.
