    • Trivia
      Because Charlotte Rampling's voice had recorded badly on the soundtrack, all her dialog had to be dubbed.
    • Goofs
      When The Duke sets fire to Lenny the Dip's newspaper, he lights the bottom right-hand corner of the page. We see a medium shot as Lenny recognises the Duke, still with the flames in the bottom right-hand corner. However after a brief cutaway of the Duke's coach, the same shot of the Lenny now shows the bottom right-hand corner of the paper is intact and the flames are all in the centre of the bottom of the page.

    If You Don't Laugh at this One, You're...

    Rotten to the Core!

    That was what the University (UVa) movie marquee said in 1965.

    So I went in determined not to laugh. Within 5 minutes I was rolling in the aisle with laughter. Really the funniest movie I ever saw. A caper movie a la "Lavender Hill Mob". Everyone in this movie is crazy. I would like to get a copy of it. I rate it a 10.

    "Bennie the Dip"
