After playing Emma Thompson's sister in this film, Helena Bonham Carter went on to play the love interest of Thompson's husband, Kenneth Branagh, in Frankenstein. It is rumored that Carter was one of the main reasons for the subsequent Branagh/Thompson divorce. The next woman to play Thompson's sister on film (Kate Winslet in Sense and Sensibility) also followed that role by playing Branagh's love interest (in Hamlet).
One of the many locations used was The Baltic Exchange, St. Mary Axe, London. Soon after filming there it was bombed by the IRA.
Anthony Hopkins accepted the part of Henry Wilcox without reading the script (he was already familiar with the part from reading the novel and had sufficient trust in the Merchant Ivory partnership to do the book justice).
'Miranda Richardson' was offered the Emma Thompson part.
