Ivor Novello (Jeremy Irvine) is shown singing his comedy song And Her Mother Came, Too. Altman's Gosford Park had Jeremy Northam playing Novello singing this very same song.
Sassoon quotes Oscar Wilde's famous "love that dare not speak its name". The film features Robbie Ross, Wilde's friend and the man who kept his works in print.
Seven of Siegfried Sassoon's poems were narrated in the film: Concert Interpretation, Died of Wounds, When I'm among a Blaze of Lights, To my Mother, To my Brother, Attack, and Invocation.
The film starts with a concert featuring The Rites of Spring, considered one of the breakthrough moments in Modernism. Sassoon was a poet who retrospectively became known as a Modernist poet.
Two of Wilfred Owen's poems were narrated in the film: Anthem for Doomed Youth and Disabled.
"Dr. Rivers: Why not? Siegfried Sassoon: Too afraid, too inhibited. Shamed by an inner corruption. Or perhaps it's simply because of... What's the phrase? "The love that dare not speak its name." Dr. Rivers: You are not alone in that respect."
"[Speaking about Wilfred] Siegfried Sassoon: I'd give everything I possess to have him stay just one more hour. One more minute. Quick to tears, slow to love. Siegfried Sassoon: When I first met him, he had a slight stammer. And spoke, I thought, with a grammar school accent. How could I be such a snob? He really is a lovely man. And I think the greater poet. [He Sighs]"
