Fun Facts of Movie
- Sir Daniel Day-Lewis checked into the Plaza Hotel as “N. Archer” and lived there for 2 weeks wearing clothes suitable to his film character as research for Newland Archer.
- The three lead actors – Sir Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Winona Ryder – were all Martin Scorsese‘s first choices for the parts.
- Director Martin Scorsese had said that this is the “most violent” film he’s ever made, an obvious reference to the emotional versus physical states of being. Ironically, for a director who is well known for over-the-top violent fare like Taxi Driver (1976) and Goodfellas (1990), this film happens to be Scorsese’s first to earn a “PG rating” since New York, New York (1977).
- The painting of two Native Americans about to kill a young woman is a depiction of the death of Jane McRea. The event took place in 1777 in upstate New York, shortly before the battle of Saratoga, and was a key event in rallying Patriot militia. Jane McRea was the woman on whom James Fenimore Cooper based the character of Cora in “Last of the Mohicans”. This book was made into the film The Last of the Mohicans (1992), which also starred Sir Daniel Day-Lewis.
- Winona Ryder had written a book report in ninth grade on this very novel.
- Martin Scorsese has a cameo in this film. He plays the photographer taking May’s wedding picture.
- Jay Cocks first gave his friend Martin Scorsese a copy of Edith Wharton‘s novel in 1980. At the time, he told Scorsese, “When you do that romantic piece, this one is you.” It took Scorsese seven years to finally get around to reading the book.
