- The Director Bryan Forbes cast his wife Nanette Newman in the role of Velvet Brown, over Elizabeth Taylor, who played her in the original film.
- Somehow The Pie, who was a chestnut gelding with white socks and a big blaze in the original film, becomes a dark bay stallion with no white at all in the sequel.
