Wissenswertes
David Bowie was originally slated to record several songs for the film but was only able to contribute the title song due to time constraints regarding his then-upcoming album "Never Let Me Down". Roger Waters contributed to most of the film's songs instead.

Patzer
At the beginning of the scene in which Jim and Hilda are bedridden, Hilda's feet are missing for a few frames as the camera pans across.

Zitate
[dying of radiation poisoning]
Hilda: Shall we... pray, dear?
Jim: Pray?
Hilda: Yes.
Jim: All right then... But... to who?
Hilda: God, of course.
Jim: Oh, oh, oh, I see... Yes, yes... Would that be the correct thing?
Hilda: It can't do any harm, dear.
Jim: Ok, um... Here it goes... Dear sir...
Hilda: No, that's wrong, dear.
Jim: Well, uh... How, how do you start?
Hilda: Our God...
Jim: -our help, in ages past...
Hilda: That's it, dear. Keep it up.
Jim: Almighty and most merciful father...
Hilda: That's good.
Jim: Dearly beloved... we are gathered... unto thee. I shall fear no evil. Thy rod and thy staff comfort me all the days of my life.
[beginning to suffocate]
Jim: Lay me down in green pastures... I... I can't remember anymore.
Hilda: That was nice, dear. I liked the bit about the green pastures.
Jim: Oh, yes, yes. Into the valley of the shadow of death...
Hilda: Oh, no more love. No more.
Jim: ...rode the six hundred.
[they die]

Crazy Credits
After the end credits, Morse code can be heard in the background. The code, when translated, means "MAD". MAD is an abbreviation for the term "Mutually Assured Destruction".

Alternative Versionen
From the Castilian Spanish dubbing, Fernando Rey and Irene Gutiérrez Caba were cast to be the voices of the main characters.

Powerful, poignant anti-war movie

Jim and Hilda are two English retirees, living in a cottage in the country. War with Russia seems imminent and Jim starts taking precautions against a nuclear attack. Remembering World War 2, Jim and Hilda staunchly believe that everything will be okay, even if nuclear weapons are involved. But will it?

Powerful, poignant anti-war movie. Mixes nonchalance and English laugh-in-the-face of danger humour with some incredibly shocking reminders of the effects of nuclear war. Funny and terrifying, all at the same time.

Quite emotional too. We see flashes of Jim and Hilda's history, the life they had, the simplicity and innocence of their existence and how this is shattered.
