Interesting facts

The Other People is a 1968 British film directed by David Hart and starring Peter McEnery, Donald Pleasence and Olga Georges-Picot. It was written by Hart and Michael Josef. The film appears to have never been released, and is considered a lost film.

Production

Producer Michael Deeley said director David Hart "was one of the cleverest men I have met and when he decided to be a film director it seemed like a good idea for me to help him." The film was set up at Deeley's Oakhurst Productions and financed by Paramount Pictures as part of a low-budget film state ordered by the studio's new owner, Charles Bluhdorn.

The film was passed to the BBFC for certification in September 1968, but despite the cast involved and backing of Oakhurst Productions and Paramount Pictures, it does not appear to have had a trade screening, been shown to a paying audience, screened on TV or released on video.
