What's left behind the scenes

  • The film is based on Michael Ondaatje's novel "The English Patient" (1992).
  • Demi Moore aspired to the role of Katherine Clifton when the project still belonged to 20th Century Fox.
  • Kip (the name of the character played by Naveen Andrews) was a school nickname of the film's screenwriter, Michael Ondaatje.
  • In 2001, at a charity auction in New York, a shirt worn by Ralph Fiennes in the film was sold for $1900.
  • Producer Saul Zaentz was a big fan of Minghella's film "Truly, Madly, Deeply" and had long wanted to work with the director, so he was very pleased when Minghella himself came to him with the script for "The English Patient".
  • The script for "The English Patient" was reworked for four years.
  • Writer Michael Ondaatje, whose book the film is based on, collaborated closely with the film company during the making of "The English Patient" and stated that he was satisfied with how the film turned out.
  • The Germans shooting at László Almásy's plane at the beginning of the film are actual tourists who were asked to participate in the making of the film during the shooting process.
  • Caravaggio could have been played by Sean Connery.
  • Initially, the film was 4 hours and 10 minutes long, then it was reduced to two and a half hours.
  • The makeup for Ralph Fiennes' 'scorched' look took 5 hours to apply each day. Fiennes insisted that the makeup be applied fully even when only his face was being filmed.
  • Navin Andrews and Kevin Watley learned to ride motorcycles specifically for the film.
  • The number on the bomb that Kip defuses begins with the letters 'K-K-I-P'.
  • After filming, Ralph Fiennes, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Juliette Binoche became good friends.
  • When the project landed in the hands of 20th Century Fox studio, its executives tried to remove Willem Dafoe from the film, and offered Minghella three actors for the role of Caravaggio: John Goodman, Danny DeVito, and Richard Dreyfuss.
  • In the scene where Juliette Binoche's character examines the frescoes on the walls, electricity and smoke for her torch were supplied through a rope on which she swung.
  • Kip's motorcycle is a Triumph 350cc 3HW.
  • Juliette Binoche plays a Canadian in the film, and Ralph Fiennes plays a Hungarian count. In reality, Binoche is French, and Fiennes is English.
  • Although the film is heavily 'subtitled' with references to dates, the factual part of the film has no relation to reality.
  • After Hardy (Kevin Watley) dies, Kip gathers his and Hardy’s belongings before leaving. Among Hardy’s possessions, a scarf of the Sunderland football club can be noticed. In real life, actor Kevin Watley is a devoted fan of Newcastle, one of Sunderland’s biggest rivals.
  • The film is based on Michael Ondaatje's novel "The English Patient" (1992).
  • Producer Saul Zaentz was a big fan of Minghella's film "Truly, Madly, Deeply" and had long wanted to work with the director, so he was very pleased when Minghella himself came to him with the script for "The English Patient".
  • The script for "The English Patient" was rewritten for four years.

  • The makeup for Ralph Fiennes' "scorched" look took 5 hours to apply each day. Fiennes insisted that the makeup be applied completely even when only his face was being filmed.
  • The serial number of the bomb that Kip defuses begins with the letters "K-K-I-P".
