Interesting facts

Never Put It in Writing is a 1964 British comedy film directed and written by Andrew L. Stone and starring Pat Boone, Milo O'Shea, Fidelma Murphy and Reginald Beckwith.

Production

The film was originally known as The Letter, with Pat Boone's signing announced in June 1963. It was to be produced for Seven Arts-MGM (eventually it would be made for Seven Arts-Allied Artists). It was also known as Strictly Personal.

Filming began in Dublin, Ireland, in July 1963. The schedule was for two months.

On the first day of shooting at Shannon Airport, a plane crashed in a camera and the director's van, injuring seven people, one of them seriously. A CL44 plane was taking off while a Proctor plane was taxiing on the runway. The Proctor went off the runway and crashed into the camera van (It was later ruled that the probably cause of the accident was the loss of control by the Proctor due to the effect of the slipstream caused by the C44.)

Andrew Stone and his wife were among those with minor injuries. Pat Boone was not involved in the accident; he arrived in the country shortly afterwards. Questions were asked in the Dail over the incident.

Filming continued in Dublin for a number of weeks, with scenes shot at Dublin Airport, the Gresham Hotel, the Irish Life Building, Jury's Hotel and the Andrew Street Post Office. However, the government refused permission for any further low flying sequences. In August, the unit moved to London to complete the film.
