Did You Know?
| Trivia | Director Claudio Guerín fell from the tower housing the title bell on the last day of shooting and was killed. The film was completed by Juan Antonio Bardem. See more » |
| Goofs | There's no reason why the neighbors would have stopped to speak with Juan (John in the English version) in the apiary on his way home after the asylum. It's before anyone else is aware of his return, and the incline down from the road was too steep for them to just happen to have noticed him driving by, the direction they were going. See more » |
