Hattie Morahan, Dan Stevens and Dominic Cooper appear on Razão e Sensibilidade (2008) as Elinor Dashwood, Edward Ferrars and John Willoughby, respectively.
Because of the time period of the movie, it has been said that Dan Stevens' character is very similar to his more famous character, Matthew Crawley, from Downton Abbey (2010).
Gilbert kept sporadic records in his small Letts diaries that were discovered in one of his trunks by the late David Evans, Gilbert's younger son, some time after his death, along with a silver matchbox inscribed with "Ev" (as Gilbert was sometimes known) given to him by Florence Carter-Wood. Also discovered was a small photo of her and two blue jay feathers carefully wrapped in brown paper (almost discarded until unwrapped). It is Gilbert Evans' diary entries around which Summer in February is based.
Ophelia Lovibond was originally cast in the lead role. She dropped out and was replaced by Emily Browning.
The poem being read aloud at the party is The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe.
