Curiosidades

Blind Date is a 1959 British murder mystery film directed by Joseph Losey and starring Hardy Krüger, Stanley Baker, and Micheline Presle. It was written by Ben Barzman and Millard Lampell based on the 1955 novel Blind Date by Leigh Howard.

Production

Virginia McKenna turned down the part of Lady Fenton. Losey wanted the part of the police officer to go to Peter O'Toole but it was offered to Stanley Baker, who would go on to make several films with Losey.

Losey says John Davis of Rank wanted references to the corruption of the police and the class system to be removed but the filmmakers held firm and changes were not made.

The film was one of Stanley Baker's favourites.

The film was shot from March to May 1959. The budget comprised £40,000 put up by the German producer and £98,000 provided by Sydney Box Associates.
