Theatrical movie debut of Bernard Hill ("Blind" Freddie - beggar).
Released in the United Kingdom in a double bill with The Swiss Conspiracy (1976).
Originally titled "A Choice Of Weapons" - it was actually press-shown under that title, and reviewed with that title (only a few weeks in advance of its opening) in the "Monthly Film Bulletin" magazine published by the British Film Institute.
Last film role for Margaret Leighton, who had died by the time of the film's release.
