Curiosidades

Never Take Sweets from a Stranger is a 1960 British thriller drama film directed by Cyril Frankel and starring Patrick Allen, Gwen Watford, Janina Faye and Felix Aylmer. The screenplay was by John Hunter based on the 1954 play The Pony Cart by Roger Garis. It was produced by Hammer Films,

Production

Despite its nominal Canadian setting, exterior filming for Never Take Sweets from a Stranger took place in Burnham and Black Park in Wexham, Buckinghamshire. Black Park was featured in numerous Hammer productions due to its atmospheric appearance on film and its proximity to Hammer's Bray Studios base.

This was the first film that Freddie Francis photographed for Hammer. Francis said: "it was quite a good film actually but no that was a nice film, I don't think it got a big showing, Hammer films never did really."

Janina Faye was auditioned originally for the Roger Garis stage play, but being only ten years old at the time, she was rejected as being too young for the subject matter; director Frankel insisted she be in the movie version however. Filming lasted from Sept. 14, 1959 until Oct. 30, 1959 at Bray and Black Park.

Bernard Robinson was Production Designer, Don Mingaye was the Art Director and Roy Ashton did Makeup. John Peverall and Ron Wall were assistant directors.

There is some mild swearing in the original British print. It features a line from Patrick Allen's character around the 10-minute mark: "If he touched her, I swear I'll kill the bastard." In the U.S. prints (and the 2010 Icons of Suspense DVD), the word "swine" is used instead on the audio, also recorded by Allen, but the picture remains the same, and he can clearly still be seen to say "bastard".
