Interesting facts

Till Death Us Do Part is a 1968 British comedy film directed by Norman Cohen, written by Johnny Speight, and starring Warren Mitchell and Dandy Nichols. It was based on the BBC television series of the same name created by Speight. A sequel, The Alf Garnett Saga, followed in 1972.

Production

Don Sharp was originally meant to direct but during production had disagreements with Johnny Speight over the script which led to Sharp being fired.

The film had investment from the Robert Stigwood Organisation. It went over budget but recovered its cost with a successful theatre run.

Location footage was filmed in Tower Hamlets.

The theme tune was composed by Ray Davies of the Kinks. Sung by Chas Mills, it is heard briefly at the end of the film over the closing credits.

The film operates in a separate continuity to that of the TV series, most notably the Garnetts moving out of Wapping which did not occur in the series or its continuation.
