Trivia
Unusually, for a 59-minute British B-feature, this film enjoyed a three week run in the West End. It opened at the London Pavilion on 28 October 1960 and shared the bill with Wild for Kicks (1960). However, when The Gentle Trap was generally released at normal prices on 11 November 1960, the distributors decided it would better support main feature Surprise Package (1960).

Goofs
When Felicity Young and John Dunbar are sitting in the lorry the "scenery" passing behind them is obviously a revolving illuminated drum with foliage painted on it.
