Trenchcoat is a 1983 American action comedy film directed by Michael Tuchner and starring Margot Kidder and Robert Hays. It was produced by Walt Disney Productions during an era when they began releasing more adult-oriented films, including Condorman, Never Cry Wolf, and Tron.

Production

In February 1981, producer Jerry Leider planned a "$10-million comedy-thriller", using the working title, Malta Wants Me Dead, to be released by EMI. After Leider's association with EMI ended, he brought the project to Disney, encouraged by the company's recent interest in working with independent producers.

Filming locations included the cities of Valletta, Mdina, and Rabat, and several landmarks, including the Hagar Qim Temples, Verdala Castle, the Grand Master Palace Armoury, St. Paul's Catacombs, the Floriana market, the Gozo ferry, and the Grand Harbour. Eight weeks of photography in Malta would be followed by another week in San Francisco, CA.

With Ronald Lacey as Princess Aida, a 1982 article in Variety noted Trenchcoat may have been the first Disney release to feature an openly homosexual character.
