Mikhail Baryshnikov reportedly was insistent with the producers that gramatically-correct Russian be spoken in this movie instead of the often nonsensical hybrid often used in American movies. Baryshinkov also did a scene where he spoke French. In real life, it was his second language.
Dame Helen Mirren played her Russian part with great authenticity, which is not surprising as she is half-Russian. She was born Helen (or Yelena) Mironoff, and her father was an emigrant to England from Smolensk, Russia.
Dame Helen Mirren and producer and director Taylor Hackford met on the set of this movie and eventually married.
Producer and director Taylor Hackford was widely ridiculed for using the same old Helsinki shots to stand in for Leningrad. In reality, he had used actual shots of the Kirov Theater and other locations in Leningrad taken by a Finnish travel company on his behalf. Despite the unfair criticism, he kept the true story of these shots secret for years afterward to protect his Finnish partners.
A love scene between Gregory Hines and Isabella Rossellini was cut from the movie after poor testing in the American South, according to writer and director Taylor Hackford in his audio commentary.
"Colonel Chaiko: Modern man is so confused, Raymond. Finally, it's much better to work in the theater... than in a mine."
"Nikolai 'Kolya' Rodchenko: I see. You and your wife, you worke in the theater. And you live here... in Siberia. Raymond Greenwood: It's just temporary. Nikolai 'Kolya' Rodchenko: [dryly] Of course. Nobody is here permanently."
