Wissenswertes
This marked Peter O'Toole's eighth and final nomination for a Best Actor Academy Award. The first was for Lawrence von Arabien (1962) 44 years earlier. He lost every time and therefore holds the record for the most Academy Award acting nominations without a win. However, he received an honorary Oscar for his lifetime work in 2002.

Patzer
In the newspaper fight scene in the restaurant, the waitress is seen about a foot behind Maurice as he is initially attacked. From the opposite camera angle, the waitress alternates between being missing or about ten feet away.

Zitate
Jessie: [after their fight] Why didn't you tell me you were having an operation?

An Oscar for O'Toole? Beautiful, yet tragic

More Mother than Notting Hill. Peter O'Toole is brilliant -- creepy, lovable, objectionable and yet so vulnerable as the aging, forgotten actor in this "kind of makes you squirm in your seat" love/obsession story. I viewed it at the closing night of the Chicago International Film Festival. The tone and feel of the film places you squarely in Maurice's (O'Toole) gloomy, last chapter of life journey as well as Jesse's (Jodie Whittiker) bratty, just getting her own life started journey. Outstanding cinematography, score and music. Wonderfully haunting! V. Redgrave is terrific and beautiful. Oscar's all around for this funny, sometimes creepy, real look at two people finding each other at the most unexpected time in their lives.
