Trivia
Presumably due to the depiction in the film, Swansea Library would not give permission for filming. The film uses the Glynn Vivian art gallery, directly over the road, for exteriors instead.

The South Wales town the film is set in - Aberdarcy - is a fictional one.

John Lewis: Excuse me. Where do they keep the thunder box in this place?

John Lewis: What he does, you see, he puts the canvas on the floor, chucks some whopping great dollops of paint on it and drags a naked woman across it. Yes. Yes. Sort of job I'd like, that. I'd enjoy cleaning the brushes anyway.
