Did You Know?
| Trivia | This was a production of "Southern Pictures", a branch of Southern Television (one of the regional ITV companies in Britain). The company had high hopes for the film, thinking it would get a cinema release and that its television premiere would thus be delayed. The film was quite costly, with an international star, Liv Ullmann, in the lead (her Norwegian accent is unexplained in the film) and with multiple Oscar-winning veteran Freddie Young in charge of the photography and Francois Truffaut's favorite composer, Georges Delerue, providing the music. The film was shown to an unenthusiastic response at the London Film Festival, and all plans for a wide cinema release were then scrapped; the film was shown on television very soon afterwards and then largely disappeared in the UK. Little more was heard of Southern Pictures, either. See more » |
| Goofs | The women take a train trip, to collect Richard's car. It's clearly a Southern Region EMU (distinctive orange curtains are seen). However as they collect the car a train is shown going past, implying that the garage is close to the station they arrived at. However the train depicted is a DMU in 'refurbished' livery (rail grey with rail blue stripe) this would be rare on Southern lines and implies a location well away from the destination of the earlier train.
