According to Lewis Gilbert, Douglas Bader was difficult to deal with.
"When he read the script he said I had made a terrible hash of it because I'd cut out a lot of his friends. I pointed out that the book contained hundreds of names and I had to cut it down or else the film would run for three days. He said, 'That's your problem. If you don't get my friends in, I won't double for the film,' because he was going to double for Kenneth More in long shots. explained to him that that wouldn't stop the film being made; I said that we would undoubtedly find someone with a disability similar to his - which he did. In fact a number of his friends had helped me with the script, although we didn't tell Douglas that. Douglas wasn't in the film at all".

The text of the note that Holmes leaves Watson on the packing crate reads: "Come at once if convenient. If inconvenient, come all the same." This quote is taken directly from the opening lines of Holmes creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes short story "The Adventure of the Creeping Man"
The fifteen-second on-screen dance between Jude Law and Noomi Rapace in the gypsy camp took three days to shoot.

Angel Heart, 1987..

Writer and director Alan Parker claims that Robert De Niro's performance as Louis Cyphre was so eerie and realistic that he generally avoided him during his scenes, letting him just direct himself.
When Louis (Robert De Niro) blows salt from his egg onto the restaurant table, Harry Angel (Mickey Rourke) takes a pinch and throws it over his left shoulder. The superstition is that by doing so you blind the devil (or your evil angel).
The line "How terrible is wisdom when it brings no profit to the wise" is drawn from Sophocles' "Oedipus The King".

A good, but bowdlerised, film version of the book. The ending was a 'cop out', so as not to upset the delicate sensibilities of the American viewer.
