TRIVIA FACTS

Mrs. Bates and Miss Bates, mother and daughter in the film, are played by real-life mother and daughter Phyllida Law and Sophie Thompson (who are also real life mother and sister to Academy Award winning actress and screenwriter Emma Thompson).

During the dance sequence between Emma and Mr. Knightly, the music being played is "Mr. Beveridge's Maggot" ("maggot" meaning "to fancy or like something"). This is the same music used in the famous scene at Netherfield Hall in A&E's Pride and Prejudice, another screen adaptation of a Jane Austen novel.

Ewan McGregor had not read the original novel prior to filming.
