The film takes place in Puckoon, County Sligo, Ireland in 1924.
(At around forty-seven minutes) John Lynch (O'Brien) cut his lip badly in the drinking scene, after plotting to recover the three bodies from across the border (with Father Rudden et cetera). Just after he says "I can't drink anymore", and as he says this someone places a glass in front of him, he lent forward, thus catching his face on the glass. The scene was stopped after that.
This was Richard Attenborough's final acting role before his death on August 24, 2014 at the age of 90. It was also his last film as a director,
Elliott Gould's character Dr. Goldstein is named after him, as his birth name was Elliott Goldstein.
