Trivia
The screenwriter, Rhidian Brook, based the story on the real-life experience of his father, who came to stay at a grand house outside of Hamburg after the war. His grandfather, Colonel Walter Brook, was a British officer who led the effort to help Germans in western Hamburg rebuild their city, which had been devastated by Allied bombing raids. Just as in the movie, Col. Brook and his family moved in with the German family, the Ladiges, choosing to live alongside them instead of turning them out of their home. And eventually, the two families became friends.

Goofs
The flag or pennant of the British officer's Staff car is flown upside down.

Quotes
Lewis Morgan: None of this is how it was supposed to be, and yet here we are.

Alternate versions
For the film's Australian release, the distributor chose to make reductions to stronger sexual detail in two scenes in order to obtain an M classification. The uncut version of the film was later released with an MA15+ classification for a DVD/Video release.

Good; Coukd Have Been Better

There are some good performances in this film. Unfortunately, it suffers from a very predictable script.. I knew what people would say before they opened their mouths. Mediocre at best.
