What's left behind the scenes

  • The painting, which is said to be very popular with boys, is called «Judith Slaying Holofernes» (1612-1613) by the Italian artist Artemisia Gentileschi (1593-c.1653).
  • The building used as the boarding school in the film also depicted Mr. Darcy's estate in the 1995 dramatic miniseries "Pride and Prejudice" starring Colin Firth.
  • Isaac Hempstead-Wright, who played Tom Hill, and Joseph Mawle, who played the gardener, both appeared in the series "Game of Thrones" (2011). Mawle played Benjen Stark, Ned Stark’s brother, while Hempstead-Wright played Bran Stark, Ned’s son and Benjen’s nephew.
  • The film is set in 1921.
  • The interior shots of the boarding school were filmed at Marchmont House (a historic building, a residential home), while the exterior of the school was depicted by Manderston House. Both buildings are located in Scotland.
  • Florence is called "Mausi", which translates from German as "mouse". This is a term of endearment, similar to the English word "honey" (literally – honey, figuratively – darling, dear, beloved).
  • When Florence Catcart inspects the classroom where ghosts have been repeatedly seen, a quote from the poem "To the Fallen" (1914) from the "Ode of Remembrance" by English poet and playwright Laurence Binyon (1869-1943) momentarily appears on the blackboard – "They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old." The poem has become a poetic symbol of mourning for the British who died in World War I. This is a tribute to the boys shown in old photographs earlier in the film, who are presumed to have died in the war.

The poem became a poetic symbol of mourning for the British who died in World War I. This is a tribute to the boys shown in old photographs earlier in the film, who are presumably killed in the war.
