Trivia
Several books on Sir Michael Caine have alleged that the cast and crew were not paid because of cash problems. Caine admitted this in his 1992 autobiography "What's It All About?"

Goofs
Catriona in the getaway is wearing a blue/brown check tartan dress split up the front showing a white underskirt and a shawl. She's seen in this costume a couple of times as she, Alan Breck and David elude the redcoats but when they come across a looted cottage she's seen wearing a light brown bodice square cut across the chest and laced down the front. When they flee the cottage she's back in the tartan dress. Alan in the gateway has a belt, pistol and a long dagger. When he reaches the rear of the cottage he's also got a strap over his right shoulder to his left side with a scabard which he's lost when they leave the cottage.Alan and Catriona are given shelter by Cluny who tells his wife to give Catriona fresh clothes as her tartan dress is torn. The following morning she's seen in the tartan dress and Alan with the sword belt. The sequences have obviously been wrongly edited.

Quotes
Alan Breck: You should not be thinking of your father now, but Scotland. Scotland, lassie, do you know what that means?

Its those nasty redcoats & highland bandits

Actually, comparing with the many filmed interpretations it is a fair representation of Robert Louis Stevenson's grand story. At least it was filmed for the most part in Scotland and the lovely scenic shots add to the authenticity.

I think there have been some unfair comments made on this particular interpretation but in general I would say it deserves a far better reception than some have given.

I have no problem with the English actors playing Scottish characters, Caine here is a passable lowland Scots as Allan Breck. Actors after all are judged by their skills and interpretation of the character and that's all that matters, it would be a sad day if we have to be Scottish solely to play a Scottish character. However, I'm not sure that Caine's costume would be one anyone would be seen dead in, it was clearly awful, and hardly the sort of attire a rebel would be running around in.

What matters is, that it is a fine interpretation of Stevenson's story.
