Wissenswertes
In an early scene, David Garrick is billed as starring in Shakespeare's "Hamlet" "with alterations." This is a reference to the real David Garrick's wholesale rewriting of William Shakespeare's plays, both to fatten his own parts and to bring them closer to what 18th century audiences considered "fine drama."

Patzer
Early in the movie the road sign gives the distance to Paris in kilometres. In addition, when the wheelwright begins knocking the spokes out of the carriage wheel, he says of them "Wouldn't last another kilometre". The movie takes place in the 1750's; the metric system was introduced in 1799 after the French Revolution.

Zitate
Tubby: [Indicating to the cook at the Adam & Eve Inn that for his dinner, he would like a large duck roasting over the fire] Oh, so you choose your own here, eh? Excellent, excellent... reserve this little bit for me.
Cook: Oui, monsieur. I'll see you get the bird.

Crazy Credits
Rather than saying "Screenplay by Ernest Vajda", the credits read "A Play for the Screen by Ernest Vajda".

great little picture

This was never intended as a high-status, big-budget film. Instead, it's a little film about an actor whose ego is even larger than the stage on which her performs! The Great Garrick is the sort of person who would have given himself the title "The Great" and this fictionalized movie portrays this real-life actor as a great big old fathead! He IS an excellent actor, but his arrogance puts off those around him. This movie concerns their trying to bring him down a peg or two and thereby teaching him a little humility. The acting, writing and pacing are excellent and for a little film it delivers quite a punch--with a really terrific conclusion.
