The literary Charles Hood character is considered a James Bond type. Novelist Stephen Coulter was a friend of Bond creator Ian Fleming who had served with Fleming in the British Intelligence section of the Royal Navy during the Second World War. Both became journalists and wrote for both Reuters and the Sunday Times. 'Shamelady', the title of the third Charles Hood novel, is a phrase that is also associated with Ian Fleming. Coulter provided background information for Fleming's first James Bond novel 'Casino Royale'.

Although the film is set in Portugal, there are continued mistakes using Spanish art, signs and language. They even order Sangria at the bar.
