 The Hotel used in the film for location shooting is the Claridges  Hotel, Brighton. This hotel was also used for exterior shots in  Carry On Girls (1973) (qv) and is owned by actress  Dora Bryan (qv) who appeared in the first Carry On... film Carry  on Sergeant (1958). Patsy Rowlands (qv) tells the story how when  the casts bus was on its way to Brighton,  Charles Hawtrey (I) (qv) said "You watch when we get to Brighton,  Dora [Dora Bryan (qv)] will come running out of the hotel in her  stilettos and greet as all." On arrival at the hotel this is exactly  what happened.
