Trivialidades:

Charles Dance mentioned in his Production Diary that whilst they were casting, he got a phone call from Freddie Jones (who played Jan Pendered), who, having received the script, said "P**s-poor part, but I'll do it because I'm in love with Judi Dench."

Errores:

Anacronismos: Mains electricity, gas lighting and indoor flush toilets were unlikely to be present in remote village houses in 1936 Cornwall.

Citas:

[they have finished dinner, still waiting for Andrea to return]
Janet Widdington: I'm going to phone Pendered.
Ursula Widdington: All right.
Janet Widdington: [Janet goes to the phone] Trevannic 412, please, Mrs. Pengelley... Hello? Mr. Pendered?... Yeah, it's - it's Janet Widdington... Yeah, well - hello... Yes, we're rather worried about Andrea. We were expecting him for supper. And we...
[her face falls as she listens]
Janet Widdington: Oh, I - oh, I see... No, no - we didn't know... Yes... Well, thank you.
[she hangs up]
Ursula Widdington: Janet, what's happened?
Janet Widdington: They've gone.
Ursula Widdington: What do you mean?

This is an immensely sad movie...

... very beautiful, very funny but immensely sad. There is not one chord that sounds falsely, musically and otherwise. Joshua Bell plays magnificently. The supporting cast is uniformly good and colourful. Natascha McElhone has beautifully grown into type. Maggie Smith brings forward her warmth and humour much more than other parts gave her the chance to do. Daniel Bruhl is suitably rough, suitably superficial and suitably nice, which might be, I imagine, much more difficult for an actor than being unsuitably polished, unsuitably deep and unsuitably cute. As for Judi Dench, she comes across as delightfully professional but at the same time she gives one of the most moving performances I have ever seen on screen. I would never have the courage to make such a movie (i.e. to touch such an impossibly delicate story), even watching it was painful and made me break down, despite the many laughs I had along the way. However, to me it felt so alive and meaningful that it made many other wonderful movies seem, by comparison, mere concoctions. Flawless (in the art-house sense), admirable accomplishment.
