Trivia:
Krzysztof Siwczyk was considered for the role of Andrea when director Charles Dance saw him in a re-run of Wojaczek. Sadly, he then attended a Q&A session and deemed him to have grown up too much since the film. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: Andrea is not a Polish name - the Polish equivalent of Andrea is Andrzej for men and Andrzeja for women, but this is very rarely used for women. more
Quotes:
Ursula Widdington:

Janet Widdington:
He may be, Ursula. You are making holes in the furniture.

The film, directed by Charles Dance, is the epitome of good, low budget, British cinema. Two major actresses, Judy dench and Maggie Smith underplay their parts very well. Maggie Smith has that special gift of "scene stealing". The locations were superb and true to life as I remember that era well. The casting director gathered a supporting cast who added to the enjoyment of the film. My only complaint was that the editing for the first 30mins of the film lacked sympathy with the plot and, at times, very abrupt. The question of how the boy got into the water is never explained but it didn't matter because the script was more of a story without a beginning and without end. A great film, I loved it!
