**The film draws extensively from the biography on which it is based. Many pieces of characterization (such as the butler Parslow's "Soup du jour" joke and Emma Darwin's virtuoso piano playing), wardrobe (like Annie Darwin's pink dress), as well as lines of dialogue are taken directly from historical documentation, mainly Charles and Emma Darwin's (and their children's) personal writings. The daguerrotype of Annie taken at the start of the film is based on one of the only existing photographs of the real Annie Darwin.
