A cottage and lighthouse were constructed on the The Isle of Mull for the production of this movie. The set building utilized the skills of a seventy-two year old master thatcher, a local of the island.
This movie is what led George Lucas to hire Richard Marquand to direct Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (1983). Lucas was mainly impressed how Marquand was able to finish a difficult production on time and on budget, a factor which was critical on a huge production like Star Wars. Lucas also had to hire someone who was not a member of the Hollywood director's union as he was having a dispute with the Director's Guild at the time.
A blue Ford BB truck, registration number BUC 852 appears in the film. This is the same vehicle that appeared as Lance Corporal Jones's butcher's van in both the Dad's Army TV series and the 2016 Dad's Army film (which also featured Bill Nighy, and involved a German spy being picked up by submarine in the run-up to D-Day). According to the Ford Model A Register the vehicle is now the only Ford Model BB truck known to still exist.
