Trivia
The producers struggled to find a suitable director for this project. Comedian Mel Smith had just finished filming his directorial debut The Tall Guy (1989) and was asked if he would be interested in this film but as he was new to directing at the time he felt uncomfortable directing a period piece at that stage of his career. He did however say he would be interested in doing a straight acting role if they wanted him in the film so when Richard Harris dropped out of the lead role the producers asked him if he would like to step in.

I really enjoyed this

I can remember watching this at least 25 years ago and just remembered the films name after racking my brains. I could only remember Stephanie Beacham in it. The snow scenes were superb real snow, wow, for a change. I thought the film was very good as a children's/family film. Would love to know where it was filmed. I watched it with my brother who was about 20 at the time and he also enjoyed it. The scenery locations were beautiful. The scenes that really sticks in my mind is the scene where Stephanie Beachan was riding through the snow on a large sleigh being pulled by a pack of black wolves. Wonder if you can still buy it, if someone could tell me.
