Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made during Britain's brief 'quota quickie' era, when films were churned out rapidly to satisfy legal requirements for domestic cinema content — this one's actually more watchable than most.
Vanda Gréville later became a significant director herself; her brief role here as the sacrificial ex-lover is ironically prophetic of how quota films treated female talent.
