Contrary to popular belief, Louis (Dennis Price) actually only killed six of the eight Sir Alec Guinness characters. The final "victim", the bank manager, dies of a stroke or heart attack. Price had grown fond of him, and even says at one point he was glad he didn't have to kill him. Another Guinness character, Admiral Horatio D'Ascoyne, goes down with his ship when the vessel collides with another, and is only seen saluting as the water rises over his head. This collision is possibly a reference to the real-life disaster which involved the battleships H.M.S. Victoria and H.M.S. Camperdown in 1893.
