- Work historyThe original music score by Dominic Muldowney was largely replaced by Eurythmics tracks prior to the UK and US theatrical release, against the wishes of director Michael Radford. This score was re-instated for the US 2003 DVD release of the film. A caption in the end credits reads: "This film was photographed in and around London during the period April-June 1984, the exact time and setting imagined by the author." With love and admiration Richard Burton 1925-1984
