Background
This was Cliff Richard's third film, following Serious Charge and Expresso Bongo. The film was originally intended to feature the Shadows in more major acting roles, and scripts were duly tailored to them, including a character with glasses (intended for Shadows lead guitarist Hank Marvin, but eventually played by Richard O'Sullivan), a character with blonde hair, intended for bassist Jet Harris but played by Melvyn Hayes, who was required to bleach his normally black hair for the role. The eventual film sees them more as musicians, especially since they also wrote "Got A Funny Feeling" and "We Say Yeah" for the soundtrack. A vintage 1926 Morris Oxford is used in the film, registration number GO 660J.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“In the true sense one’s native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“I had many problems in my conduct of the office being contrasted with President Kennedy’s conduct in the office, with my manner of dealing with things and his manner, with my accent and his accent, with my background and his background. He was a great public hero, and anything I did that someone didn’t approve of, they would always feel that President Kennedy wouldn’t have done that.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
