It is based upon the true life notorious grave robbers, Burke and Hare and uses a screenplay by Dylan Thomas as a starting point to the story. The lead role is by Timothy Dalton, as Dr Thomas Rock (similarly sounding to the real Dr Knox, whom Burke and Hare supplied bodies to). Support comes from Jonathan Pryce and Stephen Rea, their characters, Fallon and Broom, have historical basis with Burke and Hare. Other characters are purely fictional.From the opening credits, many viewers will recognise Edinburgh, as Dalton walks down the path but apart from Patrick Stewart exuding a mild Scottish accent, nobody else in the film has any Scottish connections. Indeed, the vast majority of characters play their parts using Cockney accents, giving the impression that the location was London. There are a number of now well known character actors playing various parts in the film, including Phil Davis, T. P. McKenna, Phyllis Logan and Siân Phillips as well as a rare acting performance from Twiggy, in a fairly substantial role.The film was produced by Jonathan Sanger, who has worked on a number of Mel Brooks films (Brooks himself is credited as Executive Producer) and directed by experienced horror director, Freddie Francis. The soundtrack was composed by John Morris, another Brooksfilms regular with vocals from In Tua Nua. Many of the production team had worked on Brooksfilms highly successful *The Elephant Man in 1980 though this subsequent film would not match the commercial success of The Elephant Man.. }
