  • Harsher in Hindsight: Sophie Dix provides a lot of fanservice here playing Maria, who's a maid/prostitute by both appearing completely naked and having sex with the main character. This becomes very uncomfortable when you learn that in 2017 Dix stated Harvey Weinstein (a producer) had tried to rape her and then masturbated in front of her during filming, leaving her traumatized (she's just one of his many accusers). One wonders if he had some influence over her role... Colin Firth, who had played the main character, said he knew of this and was ashamed for not doing anything. This casts a pallor, to put it mildly, over her happy-go-lucky character's jumping into bed with him. Lysette Anthony, who played Filette, said the same year that Weinstein previously raped her in the late 1980s, prior to the film, which adds further pallor.
