This marked Peter O'Toole's eighth and final nomination for a Best Actor Academy Award. The first was for Lawrence d'Arabie (1962) 44 years earlier. He lost every time and therefore holds the record for the most Academy Award acting nominations without a win. However, he received an honorary Oscar for his lifetime work in 2002.
The huge photograph in the newspaper of a young Maurice is the same picture of Peter O'Toole as was used on the front cover of the first volume of the actor's autobiography "Loitering with Intent: The Child" (1992).
The plaque in the church commemorates actor Richard Beckinsale, father of Kate Beckinsale, who died aged 31 at the height of his career.
The painting Maurice and Jessie discuss at the art gallery is Diego Velazquez's - the Toilet of Venus, aka, the Rokeby Venus, aka, la Venus del Espejo.
