Cast

Production

The film was originally known as The Letter.[2] It was also known as Strictly Personal.[3]

Filming took place in Ireland. On the first day of shooting at Shannon Airport, a plane crashed in a camera and the director's van, injuring seven people, one of them seriously.[4] Andrew Stone and his wife were among those with minor injuries.[5] The government refused permission for any further low flying sequences, and the rest of the movie was shot in England.[6]
