Quiz
James Mason replaced Paul Scofield whose leg was broken in an accident with a horse-drawn carriage during filming, and production was delayed six weeks. The last scene that was filmed before breaking was an extended version of the cuff link scene.

Blooper
The film features several Labrador Retrievers. These were not used for hunting in England in 1913.

Citazioni
[an animal rights protester has just disrupted the shooting]
Sir Randolph Nettleby: This is a very well produced pamphlet. Where do you get a thing like this printed? Is it expensive? You don't mind my asking you?
Cornelius Cardew: Oh no, not at all. I know a very good printer in Dorking, just near where I live. An excellent man of anarchistic views. He gives me very good rates.
Sir Randolph: Ah, special terms. Hmm. He wouldn't give me such good ones, I suppose.
Cardew: Are you a pamphleteer too, sir?
Sir Randolph: Well, I was thinking of making a sort of foray in that direction.
Cardew: A polemic, would you say?
Sir Randolph: Yes, I think that's the right word.
Cardew: Would you call it a *diatribe*?
Sir Randolph: Yes, I
[chuckle]
Sir Randolph: could call it a diatribe.
Cardew: The Ruin of Rural England - A Diatribe
Sir Randolph: Precisely. I don't think we should continue our discussion here... my fellow murderers are rather hot blooded.

No one mentioned Judi Bowker as Lady Olivia?

Somewhere there should be a private museum dedicated to memorializing one of the most important vanished species-- the lady.

While it is easy to see the fine acting of Gielgud, Mason, Fox and the other men, what no one has yet commented on is the equally fine work of a too-seldom seen actress... Judi Bowker.

As Lady Olivia, she shows the compassion, consideration, perfect balance, and dedication of an Edwardian lady at her finest. She is not only a luminous beauty, but she is moved by a gallant and delightfully indirect invitation to adultery by Lionel, but does not succumb for her own reasons. She notices what happens to the children, she treats every other person in the film as an individual, and her unselfishness in no way detracts from her presence. Miss Bowker's subtle performance is well worth a careful look.

THE SHOOTING PARTY is clearly an envoi to a vanished era. But in an age that can't see the difference between Melanie Wilkes and Scarlett O'Hara that was Margaret Mitchell's key contrast and thinks SEX AND THE CITY is a model for feminine conduct, Judi Bowker's performance is a revelation,
