Charlotte Bartlett and Eleanor Lavish discuss the plotline of E.M. Forster's other Italian novel "Where Angels Fear to Tread" when on the picnic. Helena Bonham Carter starred in the film adaptation of the novel, Where Angels Fear to Tread (1991).

Rupert Everett turned down the role of Cecil Vyse.

My Beautiful Laundrette (1985) and A Room with a View (1985) both opened in New York on the same day, March 7, 1986. Both movies featured Daniel Day-Lewis in prominent and very different roles: in A Room with a View, he played a repressed, snobbish Edwardian upperclassman, while in Laundrette, he played a lower-class gay ex-skinhead in love with an ambitious Pakistani businessman in Thatcher's London. When American critics saw Day-Lewis, who was then virtually unknown in the US, in two such different roles on the same day, many (including Roger Ebert of The Chicago Sun-Times and Vincent Canby of The New York Times) raved about the talent it must have taken him to play such vastly different characters.

After Lucy breaks her engagement with Cecil, she and her mother have tea with the Misses Allen, the cups appear to be empty. Miss Catherine raises her cup, tilts it towards her mouth, and then immediately makes a comment, without swallowing, so it was clear that she had not taken any tea at all.

As the steam train pulls into the station, in the background can be seen a wagon/car in British Rail blue with yellow roof, and also a self-propelled diesel rail-car.

Mr. Emerson: You love George. You love the boy body and soul, as he loves you.

Eleanor Lavish: A young girl, transfigured by Italy! And why shouldn't she be transfigured? It happened to the Goths!

Charlotte Bartlett: In my small way I am a woman of the world. And I know where things can lead to.
