What's left behind the scenes

  • According to assistant director Howard Feuer, actress Glenn Close was paid "a fortune" for three weeks of work. While the leading actors Jeremy Irons and Ron Silver were well compensated, actors in supporting roles – Julie Hagerty, Fisher Stevens, and Uta Hagen – had to settle for standard salaries and 10% for their agent.
  • Martha von Bülow, who spent the last 28 years of her life in a coma, died on December 6, 2008, at the age of 76. Her husband was twice accused of attempting to kill her.
  • Jeremy Irons did meet the real Klaus von Bülow, although it was several years after the film's release. Irons commented on the situation: “He didn't tell me anything I didn't already know.”
  • The wristwatch that Jeremy Irons wears in his office is a Swatch Burglar.
  • Screenwriter Alan M. Dershowitz, whose book the film is based on, played a cameo role in the film: one of the appellate judges.
  • The story of two brothers whom Alan Dershowitz (Ron Silver) tries to save from a death sentence is based on the case of the Tyson brothers in Arizona in 1980. They helped their father escape from prison, after which he killed four people. Both brothers were charged with murder.
  • One of the law students mentions sending a fax. Fax machines were not yet in common use in 1983, when the events of the film take place.
  • Von Bülow abruptly switches hands while eating in the restaurant.
  • The ring worn by Von Bülow is sometimes on his right hand and sometimes on his left.
  • When the intern wants to abandon the project and heads for the door, the hand holding the books changes after a cut.
  • At the beginning of the film, in the shots showing the estates in Newport, visitors can be seen at some of the mansions. Since the film is set in 1983, some of the mansions may have been open to the public, such as 'The Breakers' and 'Marble House'.
