What's left behind the scenes

  • The only professional actor in the film was Colin Welland, who played Mr. Farting. The remaining roles were given to non-professionals (including the school principal – who was actually the principal of a neighboring school).
  • Disney studio attempted to buy the film rights from Barry Hines (1939-2016), the author of the story “A Kestrel for a Knave” (1968), on which the film is based, but they planned to change the ending and let the kestrel live. Hines refused the lucrative offer.
