What's left behind the scenes

  • During filming, Jeremy Irons constantly had to keep in mind which of the twins – Elliott or Beverly – he was playing. He always played one leaning forward, and the other leaning back.
  • Initially, Jeremy Irons had two dressing rooms and two sets of clothes – one for each twin. Over time, however, he realized that "the whole point is how easily they can be mistaken for one another, and people really do confuse them," after which he kept only one dressing room and mixed up his characters' wardrobes.
  • Episodes where both twins appear on screen at the same time are one of the first applications of the computer technology "traveling matte" (a type of composite shot that allowed actors and other objects to be combined with arbitrary backgrounds using double exposure through a moving opaque mask on auxiliary film).
  • Initially, David Cronenberg offered the role of the twins to William Hurt. He was forced to decline the offer due to commitments to other projects.
  • Robert De Niro turned down the role of the twins, explaining that he would be uncomfortable playing a gynecologist.
  • The Mantle twins were based on brothers Stewart and Cyril Marcus, who were found dead in Cyril's Manhattan apartment as a result of barbiturate withdrawal. The brothers' story is told in Barry Wood and Jack Giszlend's novel 'The Twins' (1977), which served as the basis for the screenplay.
