1* OneSceneWonder: Creator/AlbertFinney as Fouche, giving a marvelous performance as a sardonic politician well aware that he survived only by trading one boss for the other at the right moment.
2* RetroactiveRecognition:
3** Creator/PetePostlethwaite (still credited as "Peter") makes his film debut in the small role of a man shaving General Treillard.
4** The fortune teller is played by Creator/LizSmith, who would later be best known for playing Mrs. Cropley in ''Series/TheVicarOfDibley'' and Nana in ''Series/TheRoyleFamily''.
5* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''Film/BarryLyndon''. Scott stated on the DVD commentary that he deliberately set out to mimic that film's lush cinematography. Gay Hamilton is in both films.
