Gabriel Byrne once said of his scene-stealing co-star in this film "never act with children, dogs, or Denholm Elliott!"
The name of the airbase is never mentioned. However at one point Nick views a press clipping which states that the (presumed) hit-and-run driving incident occurred in the village of Brandon. That's in Suffolk, adjacent to the US airbase at RAF Lakenheath. (However, the building Nick is seen parked outside when he asks, and is denied, permission to visit the base commander, is not at Lakenheath, it looks more like RAF Uxbridge which would have been easier to get permission to film at, and is also very close to the Shepperton studio where the film was made.)
Final theatrical feature film of actor Fulton Mackay.
Whilst shooting the opening shot of a car driving over the camera on a deserted road (which involved digging a trench in the road) the car crashed into the camera and crane but the shot was still used.
Breakthrough feature film role of actor Gabriel Byrne.
"Vernon Bayliss: Vodka and Coca-Cola. Detente in a glass!"
"[SPOILER] Nicholas 'Nick' Mullen: [angrily] Where'd the tip-off come from? Harry Champion: Look, you know perfectly well I've got to protect my sources. Nicholas 'Nick' Mullen: Oh yeah? Well, from now on, nobody is protecting anybody. Harry Champion: I'm sorry, I can't tell you. Nicholas 'Nick' Mullen: I want to know who told you Kleist was KGB. Harry Champion: I can't tell you! Nicholas 'Nick' Mullen: It was the same source rang me up and gave me the Prague story, wasn't it? Harry Champion: I've no idea. Nicholas 'Nick' Mullen: [chuckles] Come on, Harry. Who was it? Harry Champion: Look, he's in the Security Services. He's very, very high up. I used him for fifteen years and he's never been wrong. That's all I can tell you. Nicholas 'Nick' Mullen: Yeah? Well, you better get yourself a new contact, Harry. Harry Champion: Really. Nicholas 'Nick' Mullen: Yeah. Kleist is no more KGB than Kim Philby was MI6. He's a British agent. Harry Champion: [laughs incredulously] Oh, that's very good. Now, where did you get that from, John le Carré? Nicholas 'Nick' Mullen: No. I got it from George Rydell. In black and white. Now, I want a name."
