By the time this movie was filmed, James Robertson Justice had suffered a bad stroke. It was intended for him to play Sir Lancelot Spratt and his brother, Captain George Spratt, but he was far too ill to do much. Producer Betty E. Box and Director Ralph Thomas kept what he had completed in the movie and paid him for both parts, saying he deserved it for his loyal service.
Robert Morley (Captain George Spratt) was the original choice for the role of Sir Lancelot Spratt in Doctor in the House (1954). He turned it down.
On its original U.K. cinema release, it was commonly shown in a double bill, with OSS 117 Murder for Sale (1968) as the supporting feature.
