Anecdotes
Bob Hoskins' voice was dubbed over by another actor from Wolverhampton out of fear that Americans wouldn't understand his London accent. After Hoskins threatened to sue Jack Gill and British Lion, the dubbing was removed. He was supported by Richard Burton, Sir Alec Guinness, and Warren Beatty.

Gaffes
The last shot of the swimming pool being drained is actually water coming in, but shown in reverse.

Citations
Pool Attendant: They kept it all incognito. They're gonna collect the body in an ice cream van.
Harold: There's a lot of dignity in that, isn't there? Going out like a raspberry ripple.

Autres versions
Some dialogue has been altered on the DVD version presumably for the US audience. "National Service" becomes "Army Service" and in the scene where Harold says they had to carry a wireless about has been changed to carry a bazooka about.

Top of the list

"The Long Good Friday" was given a limited release in the U.S. but fortunately it opened in Los Angeles. Based on a very short synopsis in the L.A. Times, my wife made the 30-mile drive from Pasadena to Santa Monica and were rewarded with the best crime drama I've ever seen. This film is the perfect coming-together of writing, directing and acting to produce a cinematic gem. Nothing overblown and grandiose like "The Godfather" but a tight story that never bogs down, filled with real characters that stand out from the screen. We were introduced to Bob Hoskins and Helen Mirren and both of them have since provided us with some great performances on both large and small screens. I would definitely take this one to the proverbial desert island.
