Fiamma's Chaperone (uncredited)

In the novel Fiamma is Italian, not Spanish. And is a princess.

In the novel the boarding school is located in South Africa, not Great Britain.

First and, to date (2009), only joint venture of the Scott clan: Jordan Scott (writer-director) daughter of executive producer Ridley Scott and niece of executive producer Tony Scott.

Miss G. is seen smoking a filtered cigarette, something that was not really available at the time.

One of the girls does her impression of Long John Silver from Treasure Island. Her impression is based on Robert Newton's distinct performance from Disney's 1950 film adaptation, yet Cracks takes place in 1934. It should also be noted that characters in pirate movies did not start talking that way until Robert Newton played Long John Silver.

The pastry Miss G serves to Fiamma is not the same as the ones she bought at the bakery.

Poppy: I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: 'Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed. And on the pedestal these words appear, "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.'

Rosie: Divinations are ungodly!

Di: She's obviously never read Treasure Island, she has no idea what you're on about.
