Trivia
The isolation of Pimlico and its support by the common people of London is a reference to the Berlin blockade of June 1948 - May 1949.
A placard can be seen that says "Forget that Cripps feeling": this refers to Stafford Cripps, who was at the time Chancellor of the Exchequer.
The part of Prof. Hatton-Jones was written as a man and was offered to some male performers before it was decided to make the role female, and Margaret Rutherford was cast.
