The film was a flop, and as a result Reg Varney did not star in further films apart from "Holiday on the Buses".
Reg Varney was playing a bald man who wears a toupee, when in fact he had a full head of hair in real life.
An unusual role for Reg Varney, famous at the time for the broad sitcom On The Buses, p!aying a tragi-comic character in a downbeat drama.
