Short Story

What's left behind the scenes

  • This is the first film shot by Roger Corman in England.
  • The Jester's wife, Poppendick, was played by Verina Greenlaw, who was still a child at the time of filming. Her lines were voiced by an adult actress.
  • Actress Jane Asher asked director Roger Corman for permission for her friend, who wanted to visit the set, to watch the filming and then have lunch with her and Corman. She explained that her friend was a musician and had his first performance in London that evening. Corman did not object and even wished Asher's friend good luck with his performance at the end of lunch. Roger Corman had never heard of Paul McCartney before, until he read about the concert's success in the newspapers the next day.
  • Hop-Frog and Esmeralda are characters in Edgar Allan Poe's (1809-1849) story "Hop-Frog, or The Eight Chained Orangutans" (1849), which tells of the "Bal des Ardents," or "Ball of the Burning Men," which took place in 1393, when four out of five lords celebrating with King Charles VI (1368-1422) died in a fire.
  • More than 3 kilometers of corridors were built between the three sound stages of the studio, through which the heroine, Jane Asher, ran.
  • Roger Corman preferred to film in England because of the tax laws in effect in the country at the time. The film was British, and British actors were filming in it, so the government allocated a certain amount for its filming.
  • Roger Corman did not enjoy working in the UK because of the tea breaks that had to be taken during filming.
  • Actress Jane Asher asked director Roger Corman for permission for a friend of hers, who wanted to visit the set, to watch the filming and then have lunch with her and Corman. She explained that her friend was a musician and had his first performance in London that evening. Corman didn't object, and at the end of lunch even wished Asher's friend good luck with his performance. Roger Corman had never heard of Paul McCartney before, until he read about the concert's success in the newspapers the next day.
  • Hop-Frog and Esmeralda are characters from Edgar Allan Poe's (1809-1849) story "Hop-Frog, or The Eight Chained Orangutans" (1849), which tells the story of the "Bal des Ardents," or "Ball of the Burning Men," which took place in 1393, when four out of five lords celebrating with King Charles VI (1368-1422) died in a fire.
