- TriviaThe scene set in the church where Laura lights a candle for Christine was mostly improvised. Originally intended to show the gulf between John's and Laura's mental states-John's denial and Laura's inability to let go-the script included two pages of dialogue to illustrate John's unease at Laura's marked display of grief. After a break in filming to allow the crew to set up the equipment, Donald Sutherland returned to the set and commented that he did not like the church, to which Julie Christie retorted that he was being "silly," and the church was "beautiful." Nicolas Roeg felt that the exchange was more true to life in terms of what the characters would actually say to each other, and that the scripted version was "overwritten," so opted to ditch the scripted dialogue and included the real-life exchange instead.
- ErroresWhen Laura leaves the hotel near the end to pursue John, she is wearing boots but is barelegged. Later in the chase as she scrambles over a boat, she is wearing the same boots but is now also wearing dark colored stockings/tights.
- Citas
John Baxter: What are you reading?
Laura Baxter: I was just trying to find the answer to a question Christine was asking me: if the world's round, why is a frozen lake flat?
John Baxter: Huh. That's a good question.
Laura Baxter: [flipping through a book] Ah-ha. "Lake Ontario curves more than 3 degrees from its eastern most shore to its western most shore." So, frozen water really isn't flat!
John Baxter: Nothing is what it seems.

Don't Look Now is often held as an example of how a movie adaptation can be refreshingly different from the source material.
Director Nicolas Roeg was not a traditional director preferring to push the envelope. The movie is known making Venice look Gothic and menacing. As well as the tender lovemaking scene between Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland. It was regarded as rather graphic for the time.
Laura Baxter (Christie) and John Baxter (Donald Sutherland) are devastated when their daughter Christine accidentally drowns in a pond outside their home. She was wearing a shiny plastic red raincoat at the time.
John had some kind of second sight that she was in danger but was too late to save her.
Some time later, with their other son in Boarding school. Laura and John are in Venice. He is involved in a project to restore a church.
Laura has a chance encounter with two sisters, Heather and Wendy. Heather is blind but has psychic abilities. One of them is that Christine is communicating with her and that John might be in danger is they stay in Venice.
John dismisses the sisters but this is a Venice where a serial killer is on the loose. John is also having visions of someone in a red cape.
What begins as a film about family loss and grieving. It slowly but suddenly morphs into a psychic supernatural thriller that leans into horror.
You sense that John might be going mad as he has visions of Laura when he knows she has left Venice for England. He also dismisses his own supernatural abilities, his own sense that bad luck seems to follow him.
There is a subplot that Roeg introduces where John along with others could be the suspected killer. The ending is creepy and both horrific.
Apparently Du Maurier liked the adaptation of this story. Roeg introduces a lot of symbolism in the film. Hence why when the figure in the red cape turns around it is startling.
As a footnote when Joel Schumacher made Flatliners. The Kiefer Sutherland character had visions of a figure in red.
