In real life, Joy had two sons: Douglas Gresham (who was depicted in this movie) and David Gresham (who was not). David was born in 1944, and Douglas in 1945. After their mother's death, David and Douglas continued to live with their stepfather, C. S. Lewis. In contrast to his mother, stepfather, and younger brother, David was less interested in converting to Christianity, and while still a child living with Lewis, he started to return to Judaism. According to Edwin Brown's book "In Pursuit of C. S. Lewis", Lewis was very supportive of David's interest in Judaism, including finding a kosher butcher to supply his meat.
In one of the scenes, in which Douglas Gresham (Joseph Mazzello) is reading in bed, he is reading The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. Tolkien was a good friend and colleague of C.S. Lewis.
Sir Anthony Hopkins prefers to memorize lines on his own, while Debra Winger prefers extensive on-set rehearsals. To accommodate Winger, producer and director Sir Richard Attenborough rehearsed with her, reading Hopkins' lines.
Douglas Gresham (along with his brother, David) became the heir to C.S. Lewis' literary estates, and is one of the producers of The Chronicles of Narnia film franchise.
After Joy's death, C.S. Lewis kept notes on his grief, which he published as "A Grief Observed" under a pseudonym.
"Jack: Why love, if losing hurts so much? I have no answers anymore: only the life I have lived. Twice in that life I've been given the choice: as a boy and as a man. The boy chose safety, the man chooses suffering. The pain now is part of the happiness then. That's the deal."
"Joy Gresham: We can't have the happiness of yesterday without the pain of today. That's the deal."
