Credited as an executive producer on the film, Natasha Richardson denied this allowed her to dictate proceedings - even when it came to the numerous sex scenes. "I'm an actress and I'm working for the director," she said. "David Mackenzie made it clear he wanted it to be as real as possible. He didn't want any restrictions whatsoever, and he asked me if I was comfortable with that. I said yes, and I was, because I knew that for this movie to work it had to be very hot and very real, and it wasn't going to be a case of doing it Hollywood all covered with a nice little sheet. So I signed up for that, and I thought it was right, but it didn't make it any easier to do. What's in the movie compared to what we shot is the tip of the iceberg."

The story is set in the Summer of 1959. The Mk II Jaguar, as used by Raphael, was only introduced for the London Show in October of that year. (Please see 'Trivia' item, also).
