The Film Holds The Record For Longest Theatrical Release In Film History
The film is considered to be the longest-running release in film history. It has never been pulled by 20th Century Fox from its original 1975 release.

Curry, is from England whereas Sharman is from Australia. Thomson is also from Australia, while Quinn and Little Nell, who played Magenta and Columbia, are Irish and Australian.
