Fun way to pass 90-odd minutes, mind.

At first I assumed it had a comtemporary setting, but it seemed to be set in the 20s or 30s. There wasn't one mod-con to be spotted in the castle and the outfits and massive marcelled up-dos of Lady Alicia and her sister were definitely early 1920s. Plus James (the man not the orangutan) had a gramphone in his room. Or maybe I'm wrong and they were all just deeply retro.

Another thing: what was this habit of them - in this dubbed English version - suddenly lapsing into native Italian for entire scenes? Did they lose the dubbing tapes for those scenes? Or maybe all Scottish folk talk in Italian in private? I think we should be told.

The scenes in Italian were most likely never subbed into English, as they were cut in the original version of the film. Then when Blue Underground releases the super un-cut version of the film, all the scenes are included and subbed accordingly. See the uncut version of Deep Red, as it has nearly 30 minutes of added scenes in Italian with subs.
