* CreatorCameo: John Irving appears in two short scenes as a character described in the script only as "the disapproving stationmaster." Irving includes this incident in his making-of memoir ''My Movie Business,'' where he tries to describe, with some amusement, how it felt to play a character whose sole trait was silent disapproval. He also admits that, having offered constant criticism of the choices in the adaptation, he probably got the role because the ''one thing'' the director knew Irving could accurately portray was disapproval.
