Anachronisms: The story on Donald Campbell in Sally Williamson's typewriter refers to Coniston as a "Cumbrian village". In 1966 Coniston was in the county of Lancashire. The county of Cumbria didn't come into existence until local government reorganisation in 1974. It was formed by merging the ancient counties of Cumberland and Westmoreland and taking the southern part of the Lake District from Lancashire. moreQuotes:

I didn't want to go see this movie back in '87 with my kids, but I was dragged into it. The movie was awesome then, and it still remains a great movie. Why? The music. Anyone even remotely interested in "The Blues" as a music genre should have this DVD in their library. Not only do you get some great blues music as part of the scoring, the incidental Blues Club Scene, vintage Chicago, pulls this out of the ordinary to a slam for music lovers.
And, ... how about the straggling scene after the credits, which is standard today. Heck, I'm in my 50s, and I still have to pull this movie out to hear the harp licks.
