Production

The film was filmed in 1980 in Toronto, Ontario. The working title of the film was Bells, which appeared on early promotional material, but it was changed to Murder by Phone before it was released in some markets. It was released as Bells in the United Kingdom.

The score by John Barry is electronic, played entirely with synthesisers. This was a rarity for Barry. Whilst he composed and conducted the score, it was performed by Jonathan Elias and John Petersen. Elias later went on to work with Barry on the scores for Jagged Edge and A View to a Kill.
