TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

This is the only film directed by Stephen Fry.

This was John Mills' final film before his death on April 23, 2005 at the age of 97.

Executive producer, writer, and director Stephen Fry commissioned two contemporary songs from Pet Shop Boys for the movie, a cover version of Noël Coward's "The Party's Over Now", and a The Pet Shop Boys-penned title track. The title track was written and recorded, but Fry elected not to use any The Pet Shop Boys' performances, preferring to utilize only period music in this movie.

Assistant director Jo Crocker is executive producer, writer, and director Stephen Fry's sister.

Lindsay Anderson had tried to set up a version of "Vile Bodies" since the early 1970s, but his various attempts failed to materialize.

Popular Dialogues

"Ginger Littlejohn: What I'm about to say is that what I'm about to say may sound unpleasant, y'know, and all that, but look here, y'know, dammit. I mean, the better man has won. Not, um, that I'm saying that I'm the better man, I wouldn't say that for a moment, awful bad luck on you and all but still, when you come to think of it I mean look here, y'know. Dammit. Do you see what I mean?"

"Adam Fenwick-Symes: Oh Nina, what a lot of parties... Masked parties, Savage parties, Victorian parties, Greek parties, Wild West parties, Circus parties, parties where you have to dress as somebody else, almost naked parties in St. John's Wood, parties in flats and studios and houses and ships and hotels and nightclubs, in swimming baths and windmills. Dances in London so dull. Comic dances in Scotland and disgusting dances in the suburbs. All that succession and repetition of massed humanity. All those vile bodies. And now a party in a mental hospital..."
