    • Trivia
      The restaurant in Prague is "Restaurace u milosrdnych" at the crossing of "U Milosrdnych" and "Kozi" in the center of the town
    • Goofs
      As Virgil passes through the glass-pane door of Night and Day café almost at the end of the movie, there is a sticker on the glass pane of the door which read "Pivnice U milosrdných" - the original Czech name of that pub.
    • Quotes

      Billy Whistler: I wouldn't be so sure if I were you. Human emotions are like works of art. They can be forged. They seem just like the original, but they are a forgery.

      Virgil Oldman: Forgery?

      Billy Whistler: Everything can be faked, Virgil. Joy, pain, hate... illness, recovery. Even love.

    The Loss of Autonomy...
    ... as a result of love and desire, the urge to acquire what you don't yet have. A superb demonstration of the power of film to manipulate, to ratchet up, build pressure, and time its release to perfection.

    FAQ4

    • The renaissance dessert, a confection of Swiss cream and bitter almonds, that Virgil admires but declines to consume: can anyone explain why he did not eat the offering? And what is its significance?
    • Was the automaton authentic?
