Clive Revill also played the Prime Minister in The Emperor's New Clothes (1987), another version of the story.
To further illustrate the vanity of the Emperor, the production designers mimicked the costumes, decor, and Versailles-like settings of the 18th-century French court of Louis XV, replete with gold gilt, satin breeches, and white powdered pompadours.
Art Carney (Morty) starred in the original Going in Style (1979). Alan Arkin (Bo) starred in the remake of Going in Style (2017).
