It was filmed largely on location in London, particularly in and around the picturesque Chester Terrace.

[edit] Differences between film and book

The film is fairly faithful to the source novel. The biggest change is in Greene's character of Father Richard Smythe. In the film, he is split into two characters, Father Crompton (Stephen Murray, in a relatively minor role), and an atheist, Richard Smythe (Michael Goodliffe).
