TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Evelyn Waugh disowned this movie of his famous novella, and tried unsuccessfully to get his name taken off of the credits. Three days after the movie's London opening, he died unexpectedly at his house in Somerset. It is thought that he had not seen it.

At the advance screening for studio execs, many were so offended that they walked out before this movie ended. This greatly pleased Tony Richardson, as it was precisely the effect he was hoping to have on "old Hollywood" types.

This is Liberace's only movie in which he does not play the piano on-screen.

Director of Photography Haskell Wexler was dissatisfied with some of the outdoor Whispering Glades scenes because they were being filmed at noon, and the trees were not casting significant shadows, which he felt was necessary to give the shot proper depth. To compensate, he had the crew paint tree "shadows" on the ground. This is plainly visible in some scenes, as the trees' "shadows" are entirely dissimilar from those of the actors standing next to them.

American Robert Morse had such trouble keeping up his "British" accent that eventually all of his dialogue had to be recorded in a studio and dubbed over the movie.

Popular Dialogues

"Dennis Barlow: They told me, Francis Hinsley, they told me you were hung. With red protruding eyeballs and black protruding tongue."

"Dennis Barlow: Aimee, wait. Now, my dear girl, don't you realize, it's only been money that's been holding me back? Aimee Thanatogenous: An American would despise himself for living off his wife. Dennis Barlow: Yes, but you see, I'm English, and we have none of these prejudices in the older and more developed civilizations."
