TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Robert Powell was cast in the lead role of Richard Hannay due to his popularity from starring in Jesus of Nazareth (1977).

Robert Powell reprised his role as Richard Hannay in Hannay (1988). Screenwriter Michael Robson also wrote regularly for the series.

This movie is considered the most faithful of the three screen versions of John Buchan's source novel, despite the addition of the Big Ben clock-tower finale (which was borrowed from My Learned Friend (1943)), which was not in the book.

The Big Ben clocktower seen in this movie, utilized for long-shots and exteriors, is the real London landmark. The close-ups for the action sequences was a replica of Big Ben built on a soundstage at Pinewood Studios.

Final theatrical movie of Eric Porter (Lomas).

Popular Dialogues

"Hannay: I thought he was a harmless lunatic!"

"Liberal Conference Audience Member: Why don't you stop asking questions and tell us something? Hannay: Yes, I will tell you something. You're not awake! You wouldn't know if... if those two men who just walked in weren't German Sleeper Agents."
