Director: Sidney J. Furie
Release Date: January 1964
While production began as early as September 1962 the completed film was held for release for over eleven months. Its release, in January 1964, was followed an article in New Statesman, 21 February 1964, under the heading ‘On Location at the Ace’, by Gillian Freeman, who recalled that ‘It was two in the morning and we stood with the mobile generators and the lines of motor-bikes in the forecourt of the Ace Cafe on the North Circular Road. The arc lights caught the fine rain looking like threads of cotton, slanting down into the puddles on the tarmac. In the shadows were about 150 of the Ace regulars, many of them now working as extras. In the foreground were the actors, and the considerable number of people who form a film unit.’ Freeman also mentioned that ‘The final scene on the North Circular was shot on a cold Friday morning…’
