David Morrissey’s mentor was his birthplace. “I didn’t have anybody, but in Liverpool everybody is a joke teller. What I’ve always been grateful for is coming from a city that takes the arts seriously. I never felt nervous about saying to somebody, ‘I want to be an actor.’ My only nervousness was I wasn’t saying, ‘I want to be in a band.’” The Inventory: David Morrissey".

Writer Willy Russell had his name removed from the credits as he thought the lead actors were too old to play 16-year olds and that Kidder's Welsh retreat was overly glamorous. There is some truth in this, but as filmed the script still boasts a strong mytho-poetic resonance, for instance in the almost totemic role of Billy's knife which he eventually discards under Kidder's guidance but which in Rabbit's hands leads to death and destruction. The violent and abrupt ending is bleak, highly melodramatic and certainly cruel, though it also shows Billy taking his life in his hands and finally becoming responsible for it. a b Maher, Kevin (15 November 2008).
