La pasión de un hombre joven

Despite the film's reputation as being an archetypal 'Swinging London' movie it was actually shot on location in Stevenage in Hertfordshire

Jamie says he is left handed, yet we see that he consistently uses his right hand (his brother Joe is left handed, however).

For its UK cinema release the film was heavily cut from the original print with edits to dialogue, some sexual references, and all of Mary's topless footage during the bathing scene, and the uncut version was released overseas. The cut cinema print was often shown on BBC1 and the uncut version was shown by Channel 4. The 2010 DVD features both prints of the film.
