Did You Know?
| Trivia | The story is based on the true story of the murder of Francis Rattenbury, and is faithful to the facts. However George's surname had to be changed as the real person (George Percy Stoner) was alive when the play was written and when the television adaptation was produced. See more » |
| Goofs | When Helen Mirren takes the train ride at the end of the film, the train is composed of British Railways compartment stock built in the late 1950s. More than 20 years too modern for the supposed date. See more » |
| Movie Connections | References The Lives of a Bengal Lancer (1935). See more » |
