    • Trivia
      The segments "Pride" and "Lust" had originally been television plays in the series Comedy Playhouse (1961)
    • Goofs
      In the Pride section, the Rolls Royce has, at first, both the RAC and AA badges as it travels down the lane, then only one, the RAC badge, for the rest of the piece.
    • Quotes

      Doctor: I take it he didn't get to the pudding?

      Ingrid: No, he didn't get that far.

      Doctor: Pitty. I like something that's rather sweet.

      Ingrid: I'm sure you do.

      Doctor: Perhaps I'd better take a look at it?

    • Crazy credits
      Felicity Devonshire tops the cast list during the end credits, but instead of receiving a written character description, she is represented by a drawing of how she appears in the film.

    Mixed Bag
    Graham Stark brings one of the great casts in British film history - a great if uneven time capsule.

    I remember watching this on Granada on a Sunday afternoon, I doubt it'll ever turn up on anything bar the wonderful Talking pictures...

    anyway as with most Portmanteau films if you don't enjoy one bit...wait for the next!

    Wish sometimes I was born earlier to see some of films in the cinema...
