Miranda Richardson and Kristin Scott Thomas were both considered for the role of Sarah Miles, before Julianne Moore personally wrote a letter to director Neil Jordan, asking for the part in the film. Her method worked, and she was offered the role.
The film that Maurice and Sarah see is 21 Days Together (1940). Graham Greene, the author of novel on which this movie is based, co-wrote the script for 21 Days, although the name of the film they see in the novel is never mentioned.
Surprisingly, this genteel period drama was granted an 18 certificate in the UK (the equivalent of an R rating). This was mainly down to the fact the censor found Ralph Fiennes' gyrating buttocks in the numerous sex scenes to be too graphic.
Neil Jordan wanted his longtime collaborator, composer Elliot Goldenthal to do the film, but Goldenthal was committed to score Titus (1999) for his companion, Julie Taymor. John Barry was considered, and he wrote a demo theme for the film, which ended up on his 2001 solo album "Eternal Echoes," but Jordan eventually settled on Michael Nyman.
Stephen Rea and Neil Jordan's 8th collaboration.
"Sarah: Love doesn't end, just because we don't see each other. Maurice Bendrix: Doesn't it? Sarah: People go on loving God, don't they? All their lives. Without seeing him. Maurice Bendrix: That's not my kind of love. Sarah: Maybe there is no other kind."
"Maurice Bendrix: I'm jealous of this stocking. Sarah Miles: Why? Maurice Bendrix: Because it does what I can't. Kisses your whole leg. And I'm jealous of this button. Sarah Miles: Poor, innocent button. Maurice Bendrix: It's not innocent at all. It's with you all day. I'm not. Sarah Miles: I suppose you're jealous of my shoes? Maurice Bendrix: Yes. Sarah Miles: Why? Maurice Bendrix: Because they'll take you away from me."
