Trivia

• Michael Robbins' singing as the female Ainsley Jarvis was dubbed by Julie Andrews.
• Lesley-Anne Down was cast as Olga by mistake. Blake Edwards meant to audition Nicola Pagett, but auditioned Lesley-Anne Down, both acted in “Upstairs, Downstairs” at the time.
• Omar Sharif appeared briefly and uncredited as the Egyptian assassin.
• Peter Sellers' stunt double, Joe Dunne, performed in all of the scenes that required any action, owing to Sellers' fragile heart condition.
• Cyd Child, who did the stunts for Diana Rigg and Linda Thorson in “The Avengers” (1966-1969), appeared with her parrot "Chrome". The bird originally belonged to Diana Rigg, but she didn't have enough time to spend with him, so she gave him to Cyd Child.
• Tom Jones sang the Oscar-nominated song "Come to Me".
• Blake Edwards made a cameo appearance in the background of the nightclub scene.
