Facts about
Sir Lancelot wrote the song 'Shame and Scandal in the Family' for this movie. In the early 60s, Lord Melody used the melody and the chorus and an old humorous story to create a new song, initially called 'Wau Wau', though it became more familiarly known under its original title. The song was recorded by a variety of international artists (e.g. the Kingston Trio, Odetta, Peter Tosh and the Wailers), even becoming a number 1 hit in Australia. In the course of its life, the original writers have been ignored at times with the authorship being attributed to a duo of Donaldson and Brown, instead of Sir Lancelot and Ardel Wray (the writer of I Walked with a Zombie).
The role played by Frances Dee was originally filled by Anna Lee.
