Trivia
Yul Brynner's son, Rock Brynner, appears uncredited as a drunkard. The movie was filmed outside of Dublin, and the young Brynner was studying in Trinity College at the time. Whenever his dad would come to visit him, Dublin's press photographers would have a field day.

Goofs
King George I was referred to only as King George during his lifetime. It was not until George II took the throne that his father was known as George I.

Lacklustre and overlong.

This film is distinguished both in art direction and cinemaphotography.

Unfortunately the script is poorly structured and repetitive and overall the film fails to engage the viewer. Performances vary with, surprisingly, Tommy Steele finding a fairly confident middle ground between Stanley Baker's melodramatic approach and Fiona Lewis's ludicrous and unconvincing stab at Cockney. At a whisker under two hours long the film would have benefited from some cutting - Jack Shephard surrendering once to Jack Wild because he has captured Edgworth Bess seems possible, for him to do it again suggests the writers had seriously run out of ideas.
