Premiere was held on 4 March 1968.
"Dahlia Lavi" should read Daliah Lavi.
Richard Attenborough's wife is the actress Sheila Sim.
Patrick McNee should read Patrick Macnee.
Seen standing in line briefly at 01:00 are, L-R, Peter Ustinov, Carol White and Joan Collins.
When Tommy Steele is seen, to the right is Joan Collins again.
