    • Trivia
      Debut screen performance by Nita Hanson.
    • Goofs
      A Wolseley police car registered UML557 is used at various times in this episode, including towards the end when it is simultaneously used by two police constables for tailing a suspect and by the detectives awaiting the end of the tail.
    • Crazy credits
      Closing credits: The name "Eddie Leroy" (and the names of the other characters) used in this film is of necessity fictitious and is not to be confused with any Music Hall Artiste of that name or similar name.

    Gender-Bending Thriller

    One of the more interesting entries in the SCOTLAND YARD canon, where the villain turns out to be a gender-bending performer. Director Ken Hughes unearths another seamier side of Mid-Fifties British culture set in the world of the theatre: not the respectable world of pantomime and plays, but the seamier world of revue, just one or two points up fron the Windmill Theatre.
