TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Thirteen-year-old Daniel Day-Lewis made his screen debut in this film, as a teenage street vandal. He described his first acting experience, in which he was paid £2 to vandalize expensive cars parked outside his local church in Petersfield, Hampshire, as "heaven."

In John Eastman's 1989 book 'Retakes: Behind the Scenes of 500 Classic Movies', it says that Peter Finch and Murray Head were the only people on the set who were not disturbed when it came time for them to do the kissing scene. Finch has been quoted as saying, "I did it for England."

Several actresses (including Edith Evans and Thora Hird) politely refused the part of Glenda Jackson's mother, Mrs. Greville, because they thought the project was too risqué. Peggy Ashcroft accepted after the director explained to her the elements of the story and she gladly signed on.

Ian Bannen was fired from the role of Daniel Hirsh shortly after filming began. Apparently, he was so nervous about what kissing another actor on screen might do to his career, he could not concentrate enough to even get going with the part. He later said that losing the role set back his career.

This film was playing in the cinema in Derry on the day of the Bloody Sunday massacre. It can be seen advertised outside the cinema in Bloody Sunday (2002).

Popular Dialogues

"[last lines] Daniel: When you're at school and you want to quit, people say 'You're going to hate it out in the world.' Well, I didn't believe them and I was right. When I was a kid, I couldn't wait to be grown up, and they said 'Childhood is the best time of your life.' Well, it wasn't. And now, I want his company and they say, 'What's half a loaf? You're well shot of him'; and I say 'I know that... but I miss him, that's all' and they say 'He never made you happy' and I say 'But I am happy, apart from missing him. You might throw me a pill or two for my cough.' [pauses, smiles] Daniel: All my life, I've been looking for somebody courageous, resourceful. [pause, thinks] Daniel: He's not it... but something. We were something. [pause] Daniel: I only came about my cough."

"Bob: Don't come to me like a possessive wife! Alex: Well, I wouldn't if you hadn't left me with five children and a dog! Bob: Look, I know you feel you're not getting enough of me, but you're getting all there is. Alex: Well, you're spreading yourself a little thin, aren't you?"
