The first theatrical release was in Italy under the title Viaggio in Italia; the dialogue had been dubbed into Italian. Patrick McGilligan (born 1951) is an Irish American biographer, film historian and writer.  His biography on Alfred Hitchcock, "Alfred Hitchcock: A Life in Darkness and Light" was a finalist for the Edgar Award.  He is the author of two "New York Times" Notable Books, and he lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  He is also noted for his biography on Clint Eastwood, "Clint: The Life and Legend", which reveals much about Eastwood which his official biography by Richard Schickel left out.  In addition to Hitchcock and Eastwood, he has written biographies on Robert Altman, James Cagney, George Cukor, Fritz Lang, Oscar Micheaux, Jack Nicholson, and Nicholas Ray.  He is also an editor of "Backstory", which features interviews of Hollywood screenwriters and is published by the University of California Press.

Britain contributed to the Manhattan Project by helping initiate the effort to build the first atomic bombs in the United States during World War II, and helped carry it through to completion in August 1945 by supplying crucial expertise.  Following the discovery of nuclear fission in uranium, scientists Rudolf Peierls and Otto Frisch at the University of Birmingham calculated, in March 1940, that the critical mass of a metallic sphere of pure uranium-235 was as little as 1 to , and would explode with the power of thousands of tons of dynamite.  The Frisch–Peierls memorandum prompted Britain to create an atomic bomb project, known as Tube Alloys.  Mark Oliphant, an Australian physicist working in Britain, was instrumental in making the results of the British MAUD Report known in the United States in 1941 by a visit in person.  Initially the British project was larger and more advanced, but after the United States entered the war, the American project soon outstripped and dwarfed its British counterpart.  The British government then decided to shelve its own nuclear ambitions, and participate in the American project.
