π‘ Did You Know?
David Hemmings had clearly forgotten the climax to this film because in his autobiography he describes a totally different ending to the film. (This book is very clearly ghost-written and did not appear until Hemmings had been dead for a year - it seems likely that the actor himself had very little actual input into it).
