The name Judith Northwade reappears in Episode #42 "Jeannine" - in a list presented by Seargent Leduc as one of the names used by Jeannine Roger in the past. Was it planned that the role of Jeannine there played by Sylvia Syms is the same as the one played by Julie Christie here? (0:16) [Submitted by Wojciech Trojanowski]
The circle of light is not caused by the flashlight but by a spotlight (0:38).

Robert S. Baker: <<It was an interesting thing with Christie. When she was playing her first scene she was very hesitant. She kept forgetting her lines and the director ended up breaking them down into small sections. Watching her on the set we weren't terribly impressed but when we saw the rushes the next day the whole thing lit up. Amazing. This was before Darling.>> (Simper, p.20)
