| 1 | * BillingDisplacement: |
| 2 | ** The Cook's level of importance to the story is arguable, though he gets mentioned first. The Thief is the villain, and the Wife is the main character. They're mentioned in the order that sounds best as a title. |
| 3 | ** A DVD release ignored Richard Bohringer and Alan Howard entirely in favour of giving third billing to Creator/TimRoth, who was an unknown when the film was released and plays a minor role at best. |
| 4 | * CastTheRunnerUp: Creator/MichaelGambon was originally supposed to play Michael, who was even named after him. |
| 5 | * TheDanza: The four title characters are named for the actors writer-director Peter Greenaway originally wanted to play them. Richard (The Cook) is for Richard Bohringer, the only one of Greenaway's original choices retained in the final film. The rest are aversions: Albert (The Thief) is named after Creator/AlbertFinney, while Georgina (His Wife) is for Georgina Hale. Michael (The Lover) is named, interestingly enough, for Creator/MichaelGambon, whom Greenaway eventually re-cast as Albert. |
| 6 | * DuelingMovies: Although not by any production elements, this movie competed with Creator/MichaelMoore's ''Roger & Me'' to be the first screening Creator/RogerEbert would watch on its debut night in 1989. He watched ''Roger & Me'' in the end. |
| 7 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: Creator/VanessaRedgrave was considered for Georgina. |
