Scriptwriter Bob Ellis is billed in the credits as Robert Ellis. Director Craig Lahiff later said: ''That's what he wanted on the credit. Maybe that's a way of saying he disapproved.''
Screenwriter Bob Ellis once said that the original screenplay "was a really terrific Chandleresque film noir that bears no resemblance to the eventual film."
