United Artists in the UK decided to revert to the original title, "St. George and the 7 Curses." As such it had its British premiere on 15 March 1964 at the Gaumont cinema in Redditch, Worcestershire.

The premiere was fairly modest, although members of the Redditch Mystical Society were invited along to mark the occasion. The first showing in Scotland was on 4 May 1964 at the Gaumont, Aberdeen.
