What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on Arturo Pérez-Reverte's novel 'The Dumas Club, or the Shadow of Richelieu' (El club Dumas o la sombra de Richelieu, 1993).
- The main character's name was changed. In Reverte's novel, he is called Lucas Corso. In Polanski's film, he became Dean Corso.
- In the novel, Liana Tellfer is a striking blonde with a curvaceous figure. Actress Lena Olin is a slender brunette, clearly not matching the book's original description.
- The pen Corso writes with is a limited-edition collector's item – a Montblanc Agatha Christie ballpoint pen.
- The cigarettes smoked by Liana Tellfer are called “Black Devils”.
- Dean Corso smokes Lucky Strike cigarettes.
- The booksellers Pablo and Pedro Senitz, whom Corso meets in Toledo, were played by one actor – José López Rodero. The little girl who bumps into Corso at the airport in Paris was played by Morgan, Roman Polanski’s daughter.
- In Pérez-Reverte's book, there are two plotlines that turn out to be unrelated. Polanski organically merged both lines into one in the screenplay. Before the film begins, the camera first flies through the nine gates during the opening credits.
- At the beginning of the film, we see a series of different opening gates – there are exactly nine of them.
- The booksellers Pablo and Pedro Senitz, whom Corso meets in Toledo, were played by one actor – José López Rodero. The little girl who encounters Corso at the airport in Paris was played by Morgan, Roman Polanski’s daughter.
