Interesting facts

Who? is a 1974 British-American science fiction film directed by Jack Gold and starring Elliott Gould, Trevor Howard and Joseph Bova. It was written by John Gould based on the 1958 novel of the same name by Algis Budrys.

Production

The film was part financed by British Lion. It was filmed in 1973 in Germany with a German crew and English editor.

Jack Gold said he consciously made the film because it was different to other movies he had done. He said, "It’s a strange area for me and I’m not sure how comfortable I was in it, how uncomfortable the film is at the end. . . But it was intriguing. And I’m trying to stretch myself into different areas, which I did. But I’m not sure. I’ve never been as unsure in a way about what the thing is like, about my own relationship to it."
