- TriviaAs of 2023, Kelly's house at 120 St. Germain Ave. in San Francisco is still standing with the same architecture.
- GoofsThere are official photos of President Dwight D. Eisenhower and President John F. Kennedy in different government offices.
However, this picture was filmed in 1961, during a transition period from the Eisenhower to the Kennedy administration, so it is quite possible that there were portraits of both in some places. There also are 48-star flags in some scenes; sometimes those in authority didn't make changes as quickly as today.

Garland Humphrey 'Red' Lynch: I had to find some way to get you here. Take off your clothes. You want me to take them off for you?
Toby Sherwood: [shakes her head]
Garland Humphrey 'Red' Lynch: Then take them off.
- Crazy creditsThe end credits list only one person, the actor who played the villain, followed by "The End."

Above Average Thriller from the 60's
When the bank clerk Kelly Sherwood (Lee Remick) arrives home after hours, she is intimidated by a stranger that knows her routine habit. He threatens Kelly and her sister Toby (Stefanie Powers) to force her to heist $100,000 from her bank; otherwise he will kill her. Kelly does not see his face but notes he is asthmatic. Kelly succeeds to lure the criminal and contacts the FBI agent John 'Rip' Ripley (Glenn Ford) that advises Kelly how to behave and assigns a group of agents to keep Kelly and Toby under surveillance. But when Toby is abducted by the stranger, Kelly tries to stay calm to help the FBI to catch the criminal.
"Experiment in Terror" is an above average thriller from the early 60's in a noir style directed by Blake Edwards and with Glenn Ford, Lee Remick (whom we all miss so dearly) and Stefanie Powers on the lead roles. The story has flaws but the storyline is excellent and Ross Martin performs a great villain. When Lee Remick's character Kelly is attacked for the first time, her eyes are impressive even in a black- and-white film. My vote is seven.
