In the end however, the decision was taken out of their hands when Witherspoon turned down the role as being "too dark", and Bonham-Carter was cast.

c.		When shooting was going on (at least in Golden Harvests Hong Kong studios) the film had two working titles -- Kill Him in Amsterdam and The Amsterdam Killing.
d.		Errol Flynn was criticized for playing heroes in World War II movies. Tony Thomas in his book Errol Flynn: The Spy Who Never Was states that Flynn had tried to enlist in every branch of any armed services he could but was rejected as unfit for service on the grounds of his health. Flynn had a heart condition, tuberculosis, malaria and a back problem. Flynn felt he could contribute to Americas war effort by appearing in such films as Edge of Darkness; Northern Pursuit; Dive Bomber, Objective, Burma!, and Uncertain Glory. Reportedly, Flynn was at his most professional and co-operative he ever was whilst working on Second World War movies. The studios apparently did not diffuse the criticism of Flynns state-of-health as they wished to keep it quiet for fear of his box-office draw waning.
