When Mr. Dean (David Farrar) puts the coat over Sister Ruth's (Kathleen Byron) shoulders, Sister Ruth sneaks a quick kiss to his hand. In an interview with Byron at the National Film Theatre, she said that the kiss wasn't scripted, but the hand was there, and she just kissed it. She also said that in a few other places she tried to play Ruth, not as a totally crazy woman (as writer, producer, and director Michael Powell often wanted), but as someone who thought herself to be sane and who, with a bit of understanding from the others, could have been helped.
