Trivia / Il Re Cervo

• Real Life Writes the Plot: The director of the 1969 film split up with his wife, who played Angela, before they could film the final scenes, and the actress left the project. The cast and crew had to wrap up the movie with an Ambiguous Ending.
• Throw It In!: Enforced in the play. Some scenes (particularly the one featuring Brighella, Truffaldino and Smeraldina) are written without the actual lines and only with the brief summary of what the characters' dialogue should be about.
