TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

This marked Peter O'Toole's eighth and final nomination for a Best Actor Academy Award. The first was for Lawrence of Arabia (1962) 44 years earlier. He lost every time and therefore holds the record for the most Academy Award acting nominations without a win. However, he received an honorary Oscar for his lifetime work in 2002.

Jodie Whittaker's feature film debut, and one of her first on screen appearances. Also her first nude scene.

The plaque in the church commemorates actor Richard Beckinsale, father of Kate Beckinsale, who died aged 31 at the height of his career.

The huge photograph in the newspaper of a young Maurice is the same picture of Peter O'Toole as was used on the front cover of the first volume of the actor's autobiography "Loitering with Intent: The Child" (1992).

The painting Maurice and Jessie discuss at the art gallery is Diego Velazquez's - the Toilet of Venus, aka, the Rokeby Venus, aka, la Venus del Espejo.

Popular Dialogues

"Jessie: [after their fight] Why didn't you tell me you were having an operation? Maurice: I didn't want to cheer you up."

"Valerie: When you die, everyone wants to be your friend."
