First time Tony Hancock appears with Sidney James who are later cast together in "Hancock's Half Hour."
Upon release, Tony Hancock took his family to see "Orders Are Orders" and expected the cinema to be crammed with people. Instead, the film played to nearly empty audiences.
For a split second during a scene inside a gym, Peter Sellers, Tony Hancock and Sidney James can be spotted in the same camera shot. It is the only time in the entire film when this happens.
