Did You Know?
| Trivia | Gwen Ffrangcon Davies, who played the Dowager, was 100 years old when this was filmed in 1991. She died the same month it premiered, having turned 101. See more » |
| Goofs | A Scotland Yard police detective is seen picking up a discarded weapon with a handkerchief which was not a common practice in 1894, when the film was set. Fingerprint detection was not adopted in Britain until 1901, if that was his reason. Actually, the gun was covered in blood and the policeman would seem to desire keeping his hands clean of blood.
