Trivia

Elisabeth Bergner played "Rosalind" in Germany but left in 1933 when Adolf Hitler came to power. She said she would not play the role in English until she perfected her English accent. However, many reviewers complained that her German accent was still very prominent.

The movie script omits about one-third of the play, but added nothing on its own.

Little is known about the first performance (ca 1599), but tradition has it that William Shakespeare himself had the part of "Adam". The play was rarely performed thereafter for more than 100 years.

Exiled Duke: Sweet are the uses of adversity.

Jacques: And so, from hour to hour, we ripe and ripe, and then from hour to hour, we rot and rot; and thereby hangs a tale.
