* {{Narm}}: The actress who plays Heléne in the 1967 version is notable for her over-the-top attempts at melodrama, which some may find both annoying and funny. There are many scenes, especially in the first episodes where her hysterical crying brushes dangerously against {{Large Ham}} territory. However, as Heléne is supposed to have severe mental and emotional issues, some may argue that this is justified considering the public's vague perception of mental illness at the time, where hysteria would be widely accepted as an accurate representation of mentally ill behaviour.

The dashing Flynn was known mostly for his roles in romantic swashbucklers and lobbied for the role of Soames in order to demonstrate his acting range.
