Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Three Cases of Murder (1955)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Orson Welles received top billing for Three Cases of Murder but appears only in "Lord Mountdrago"; according to Patrick Macnee, Welles began making suggestions to director George More O'Ferrall on the first day of filming and by the third day had taken over direction of the entire segment.
- Both the Rank and Associated British cinema chains turned the film down for exhibition in the UK, saying it was mediocre and that Welles was not a big enough box office draw to compensate.
