Filming

Almost all of the film was shot at various locations in Folkestone. Key locations include Folkestone Harbour and Beach.


Controversy

When Charles Bronson appeared on the Dick Calvert Show, with fellow guests Richard Attenborough and Jill Ireland (Bronson’s wife) he confirmed that this was one story about his attacking a director that was true. On the last day of filming his frustration at the director, whom he believed had stuck doggedly to a poor plan of how to film the story, boiled over, he grabbed Nicolas Gessner by the throat, and gave him a shake. Jill Ireland confirmed this and agreed with Bronson’s assessment of Gessner, “He was a bit thick”
