TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Interior church scenes were shot in a Dublin studio. Because of its controversial content, the production was denied permission to shoot in any Limerick churches.

Liam Neeson was originally cast as Malachy, but dropped out.

Richard Harris strongly condemned both the film and Frank McCourt in a series of interviews in 2000.

Considering how successful the book had been (translated into 25 languages and published in 36 countries) , on a budget of $25m, this was a huge disappointment at the US box office, taking in only $13m.

Pierce Brosnan and Stephen Rea were considered for the role of Malachy.

Popular Dialogues

"Narrator: [First lines] When I look back on my childhood, I wonder how my brothers and I managed to survive at all. It was, of course, a miserable childhood. The happy childhood is hardly worth telling. Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood. And worse still is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood."

"Young Frank: Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. It's been a minute since my last confession."
