читать дальшеDirector Martin Scorsese had said that this is the "most violent" film he's ever made, an obvious reference to the emotional versus physical states of being.
Ironically, for a director who is well known for over-the-top violent fare like Таксист and Славные парни, this film happens to be Scorsese's first to earn a "PG rating" since New York, New York.

Originally to be released in fall of 1992, but was held back by over a year to allow director Martin Scorsese more time to edit.

The lady standing to the right of Winona Ryder and admiring her engagement ring at the Beauforts' ball
(just before Archer approaches and bows) is Tamasin Day-Lewis, sister of Daniel Day-Lewis,
who was in town to visit her brother and drafted by Martin Scorsese to take the part. She's better known as the author of a series of cookbooks.

The film is dedicated to Charles Scorsese, father of director Martin Scorsese, who died just before the film was completed.
He and his wife Catherine Scorsese (the director's mother) have a cameo appearance in the scene at the station.

Just past the middle of the movie, an exterior image of New York is shown.
One of the buildings has "Schoonmaker's Painters Supply Store" painted on it. Thelma Schoonmaker has been Martin Scorsese's editor for years.

Jay Cocks first gave his friend Martin Scorsese a copy of Edith Wharton's novel back in 1980. At the time, he told Scorsese,
"When you do that romantic piece, this one is you". It took Scorsese seven years to finally get around to reading the book.

The three lead actors - Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer and Winona Ryder - were all Martin Scorsese's first choices for the parts.

Co-stars Michelle Pfeiffer and Daniel Day-Lewis both share the same birthday in real life.

Natasha Richardson was considered for the role of Ellen Olenska.

Daniel Day-Lewis checked into the Plaza Hotel as "N. Archer" and lived there for 2 weeks wearing clothes suitable to his film character as research for Newland Archer.

Martin Scorsese, being a huge fan of the classic Hammer horror films, cast Michael Gough in this film, who, like Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee,
starred in many of the British company's horror features, and became something of an icon.
