According to Ronald Neame in his memoirs, Alec Guinness was only actor to refuse a role in this.

One of the extras in this movie is a teenage Ronnie Kray (later the infamous London gangster).

The actress Amy Veness - shown in the cast list against Undetermined Role - can be identified as the elderly lady in black, a grandmother presumably, in the first wedding group we see being photographed in Mr.Guttenberg's studio.

William Friese-Greene's son Claude Friese-Greene continued to develop his father's colour process and produced a series of colour travelogues of Britain in the 1920s. These never achieved contemporary commercial success but formed the basis of a very popular 3-part BBC Television broadcast The Lost World of Friese-Greene, after being preserved by the British Film Institute.
