• Arrived at Dunkirk, a lieutenant of the Royal Navy said Robbie Turner as the evacuation is stopped for the time being, and that the RMS Lancastria was sunk, it is an anachronism because the Dunkirk evacuation took place between 26 may and 3 June 1940, when the RMS Lancastria was bombed and sunk on 17 June 1940 off St Nazaire.

• Michael Powell has encrusted a lot of elements of his own life in the course of the film sequences projected by the main character : he interprets himself the father of Mark Lewis, and his son Columba lends its features to the following when it sees a child. In addition, all of his scenes were shot in the childhood home of the film director, in London.

• The Voyeur is released in theaters the same year as a famous other film narrating the acts dark a killer, lonely and reserved, namely Psychosis. But, in a first time, the film of Powell met with much less commercial success and critical than that of Alfred Hitchcock, because it was too shocking and too unhealthy. It marked the beginning of the decline of the career of Powell, however, recognized as one of the filmmakers most accomplished of Great Britain, and will almost never be broadcast. It is only later that this work cursed is rediscovered and considered as cult, for the spectators, but also by renowned directors such as Brian De Palma or Martin Scorsese. Moreover, have become friends in life, Powell and Scorsese commenting on the film together in the bonus features of the DVD edition.
