Trivia
Michael Caine only agreed to be in the film if the director also cast Denholm Elliott. Caine had known Elliott since they appeared in 'Alfie' (1966), 26 years previously, and Elliott had confided in Caine that he had AIDS and didn't have long to live. Knowing this was likely to be Elliott's last chance of a paycheck Caine insisted on his inclusion. Elliott died just a few months after the theatrical release of the movie of complications from AIDS.

Goofs
When the viewer see the show from the stage, fake walls are visible behind all the doors. When the viewer sees the show from backstage, those fake walls are missing from all the upstairs doors, although present for the downstairs doors. This is not actually a mistake; this is how an actual stage production is presented, and the top floor of the set rear needs to be seen clearly or half the action would be obscured.

Quotes
Dotty: Am I in Spain? No, I'm not in Spain, dear, I'm in agony, that's where I am!

Great movie!

This movie is a great film, period. Great concept, great cast, great plot. The inherent problem is the fact that most of this humor, though very fresh, is lost on most people. Unless you have acted on stage in some facet, this movie is mere slapstick. I saw this movie when I was younger, before I started acting, and I liked it, but it just seemed kind of shallow. Now that I have some stage under my belt, this movie's humor is mindblowing, because the insanity is just that outrageous. I'm not saying people can't like this movie if they aren't actors, but it helps. What helps this movie as well is the intellect of the humor. Below all the slapstick site gags and bad happenings, the depth of the character development is vast and beautiful, making you really think that these people, in the end, hate each other.
