Trivia

One of two biopics about Donald Crowhurst slated for release in the UK only a few weeks apart. The other is The Mercy (2017), starring Colin Firth as Crowhurst. Crowhurst was finished earlier, but the distributor of The Mercy (Studiocanal) bought the distribution rights and delayed the release until the month after that of the other film.
