Trivia and Quotes

Trivia
  • When Richard Burton became a superstar, he insisted on casting his friends from his days at the Old Vic and West End (London`s equivalent of Broadway). That is why Claire Bloom, who is clearly too old to be a teenager, was cast as Nan Perry. Other friends of Burton`s cast in the film included the great stage actor Sir Michael Hordern and Robert Hardy.

  • Richard Burton and co-star Warren Mitchell were Royal Air Force cadets together at Oxford in 1944, where they knew one another and became friends. From 1944-47, when both were demobilized, they were stationed together at times in Canada and back in England.
