Movie Trivia: Director Colin Eggleston cameos as the voice of Marcia's lover on the phone. Actor George Mallaby was originally wanted for the role of Peter, but executive producer Richard Brennen pushed to have John Hargreaves cast in the role having worked with him previously on The Removalists (1975). Even though star Briony Behets was married to director Eggleston at the time, she wasn't his first choice to play the role of Marcia. She only got the role later after another actress fell through. The decision to have rainy weather in the early driving scenes was an effort to hide the fact that the interior scenes in Peter's jeep were filmed inside a darkened garage. During the shooting grips would run past carrying flashlights to make it appear like they were lights from passing cars. Shot in four and a half weeks.
