Candy Facts
The sequence of the nurse assisting Dr. Krankheit put on his latex operating gloves is a clever reverse film of pulling the gloves off.
Playboy Playmate DeDe Lind was offered the lead role, but turned it down.
In one sequence, Charles Aznavour (as the hunchback) escapes the police by crawling on the mansion ceiling and jumping down through a window made of water. This is a visual reference to surrealist Jean Cocteau's The Blood of a Poet where the character jumps into a mirror made of water after crawling over a hallway of doors. (The effect was achieved by constructing the "wall" and "ceiling" on the studio floor and shooting the scene from above.) Even the sound effect at that moment, a shouted "No!", is in both films.
Director Christian Marquand (with camera crew) appears briefly through reflection in mirror-walls, in the final scene, filmed outside, with all actors together.
Pamela Des Barres writes in her landmark book "I'm With the Band" that she, too, was considered for the title role.
