Trivia

• Lavender Hill is a street in Battersea, a district of South London, in the postcode area SW11, near to Clapham Junction railway station.
• Audrey Hepburn makes one of her first film appearances in a small role near the start of the film. Reportedly, she was supposed to have had a major part in the film, but other commitments prevented this, so Guinness lobbied for her to be given a walk-on part. She does speak briefly to Holland, but what she says is virtually unintelligible. This was the first film featuring Hepburn to be given major distribution in the United States (most of her other early roles were in movies that were only distributed in Great Britain or Europe).
• The film is being remade, with a projected release date in 2006.
