The Germans who shoot at Almásy's plane at the beginning were actually tourists roped into the production because they couldn't afford any more extras.
Ralph Fiennes' burn make-up took five hours to apply every day. Fiennes insisted that the full body make-up be applied even for the scenes where only his head would be filmed.
Juliette Binoche knew she wanted to be in this movie the minute she read the scene where Kip Singh shows Hana the fresco paintings on the walls of a church.
Dame Kristin Scott Thomas was cast after writing a letter to writer and director Anthony Minghella, which included the statement "I am 'K' in your film."
Originally, Twentieth Century Fox was to finance this movie, but disputes arose between the studio and the producers over casting. In particular, Fox preferred a more well-known actress to play Katharine Clifton instead of Dame Kristin Scott Thomas. Demi Moore was lobbying particularly hard for the role. After the producers refused to give in on a series of casting choices, Fox backed out of the movie, and the project was uncertain just as production was about to begin. However, within a few weeks - during which the cast and crew stayed on in Italy without knowing if this movie would be made - the movie was picked up by Miramax Films.
"Katharine Clifton: My darling. I'm waiting for you. How long is the day in the dark? Or a week? The fire is gone, and I'm horribly cold. I really should drag myself outside but then there'd be the sun. I'm afraid I waste the light on the paintings, not writing these words. We die. We die rich with lovers and tribes, tastes we have swallowed, bodies we've entered and swum up like rivers. Fears we've hidden in - like this wretched cave. I want all this marked on my body. We are the real countries. Not boundaries drawn on maps with the names of powerful men. I know you'll come carry me out to the Palace of Winds. That's what I've wanted: to walk in such a place with you. With friends, on an earth without maps. The lamp has gone out and I'm writing in the darkness."
"Madox: I have to teach myself not to read too much into everything. It comes from too long having to read so much into hardly anything at all."
