Trivia
In an interview with Peter Malone, this film's writer-director Esben Storm said of this movie: ''I think the script was okay. It's very hard to do comedy, and it's either funny or it isn't. I learnt a lot about comedy on that one. I think we would've been better off if the budget hadn't been so high, if we hadn't been trying to be so glossy. Andrew was very intent on making a sort of glossy big-style movie, and in the beginning the whole thing was all predicated on getting an American or an international star to play the lead. We had Tom Conti but they wouldn't let us bring him in. That could've made the difference.''

Alternate versions
The picture which ran about 103/107 minutes during its theatrical release in Australia appears to have been cut for its 1980s home video release on VHS in the 1980s where its running time clocks in at around 89/93 minutes.
