Michael Caine appears briefly as one of the prisoners on the train. As Violette starts to escape he leans forwards and calls out for water.
At the end of filming party, actress Virginia McKenna served ice-cream carved from a four foot high model of herself as Violette complete with sten gun.
The director and producer both wanted a double to be used for the jump from the parachute training tower, but Virginia insisted on doing it herself. Slowed slightly by a wire (as are all trainee parachutists) she landed with a professional-looking roll on the mat below. Picking herself up she smiled and said "That was fun; I'd like to do it again."
Virginia McKenna lost 5 pounds in the 92 days she spent filming.
Wildfrid Bonnin, the public health inspector for the London Borough of Lambeth, went to inspect the mobile canteen catering for 100 workers on location. He was pleasantly surprised to discover what they were filming as he used to be an air raid warden with Violette's father.
