Trivia

There was a lesser-known sequel to the novel this film was based on, published in 1861, "Tom Brown at Oxford."

This production is at least the fifth time that this novel has been made as an English language film or television program, following productions in 1916, 1940, 1951, and 1971.

There were at least two real historical events portrayed in the film, even though they were not in the book: 1) The headmaster closing down the school hunt; 2) The headmaster complaining that before he arrived at the school, there were no masters (teachers) on school grounds at night to keep the boys from bullying, otherwise causing trouble, or getting into mischief.

After Tom is beaten by Flashman wearing the knuckle-duster, he is shown with two deep gashes on his face. In the next scene, his face is clear of damage, but in the next appearance, there is evidence of healing wounds.
