Sal Mineo
directed the 1969 Los Angeles production "Fortune and Mens Eyes and played the role of Rocky, a prison bully, who rapes a naive young prisoner, Smitty (played by

The Los Angeles production, which was eventually moved to New York (without Mineo as an actor) featured full frontal nudity. Mineo also directed a subsequent San Francisco production.

(Being a convicted felon, the Canadian Herbert was unable to enter the U.S. to actually see the productions.)

c.
A modern source lists
Philip Van Zandt
as Kurt and includes
Henry Daniell
in the cast as well. However, the role of Kurt is played by
Harry Woods

The unidentified actor mistaken for Daniell plays a Scotland Yard detective slowly driving the police vehicle following the trail of paint, toward the climax of the film. First seen in 3/4 profile leaning out the car window, he does seem to resemble Daniell. However, when he speaks the accompanying line "they fade out again sir" to
Dennis Hoey
(Insp. Lestrade), and subsequent lines, he clearly has a rather heavy *Brooklyn* accent, and seen in other shots during the scene does not in any way resemble Daniell, and the momentary appearance to the contrary is clearly an optical illusion.
