Интересные факты

The Belstone Fox is a 1973 British film directed by James Hill and starring Eric Porter, Jeremy Kemp and Bill Travers. It was written by Hill based on David Rook's 1970 novel, The Ballad of the Belstone Fox.

Production

The Rank Organisation financed four films at the end of the 1974 financial year,Carry on Dick, Carry on Girls, The Belstone Fox and Don't Just Lie There, Say Something, and partly financed Soft Beds and Hard Battles and Caravan to Vaccares.

The Belstone Fox was mostly filmed in Somerset, on and near the Quantock Hills, with some additional filming on Dartmoor. The scene where Tag rests on a tomb in the church yard was filmed at the Church of St Peter and St Paul, Over Stowey, Somerset. Many of the extras were members of the West Somerset Vale Hunt.

The setting for the "Lawn Meet" at the Master's home was the nearby Barford Park. The scene where the hounds are led into the train tracks was filmed on a stretch of the West Somerset Railway, and was filmed in reverse and then played backward in order to get a realistic sense of the train colliding with the pack of hounds.
