Edward Fleming directed a stage production of Noel Coward's "Waiting in the Wings" in 1981. When he brought the comedy into the film studios, he brought along some of his stage actresses as well. The empathy between director and actresses is obvious in the individual showcasing of each of the ladies appearing on the screen as the squabbling inhabitants of a home for retired distaff thespians.

Det Danske Filminstitut registrerer international festivaldeltagelse og priser til danske film,
dog primært de titler, som Filminstituttet varetager i sin festivaldistribution,
og primært i forbindelse med de festivaler, som Filminstituttet har prioriteret at samarbejde med.
Registreringen af festivaldeltagelse og priser til danske film, der ikke er i festivaldistribution,
foretages kun for "launch"-festivaler ifølge Filminstituttets prioriterede festivalliste. Se listen over prioriterede festivaler.
