TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Dame Maggie Smith recommended Pauline Collins to Director Dustin Hoffman for the part of Cissy.

Most of the supporting cast were retired professional musicians.

The principal actors and actresses were trained to sing, but the scene of them singing the title quartet from Giuseppe Verdi's opera Rigoletto was cut from the movie, but is heard playing over the end credits.

Dustin Hoffman's first completed directorial effort. In 1978, he began directing Straight Time (1978), but after a few days, he decided it was too difficult to both star and direct, and asked Ulu Grosbard to take over.

Beecham House, named after Sir Thomas Beecham, was modelled after La Casa di Riposo per Musicisti founded by Giuseppe Verdi.

Popular Dialogues

"Jean: I'm going to say something very rude to you: fuck you."

"Wilf Bond: When you're finished being a croquet expert, Nigel, a pound I'll kick your arse. Nigel: The way you play you probably will. You forget I saw your Barber of Seville, your singing brought tears to y ears. Wilf Bond: Saw you in Carmen. I'll never forget it, but I'll try."
