What's left behind the scenes
- Margaret shows Elizabeth a dance called the 'Lindy Hop.' The dance was the culmination of the so-called swing fever. It swept triumphantly across America, and during the war years, it crossed the ocean with US Army soldiers and established itself in Europe as 'boogie-woogie.'
- The pub shown in the film is located in the city of Kingston upon Hull. It is claimed to house the smallest window in the world—in reality, it is simply a glazed gap between two stone walls. It is believed that a boy once sat there and used the window to ensure that only customers entered the pub located at the inn. The window measures 2.5 by 25 cm.
