QUOTES
"Well, I thought if I looked bored and
disdainful nobody would notice that this is the first ball I've ever been
to... How's this? Better?"
"When I finally say I love you to any man and really mean it, it will be
like a defeated general who's lost all his troops, surrendering and handing
his sword to the enemy."
"Did you notice he almost never smiles? While I was singing, I turned around
suddenly and caught him looking at me and he was smiling then. And I felt -
but it's almost impossible to describe - I felt as if someone had given me
the most enormous, beautiful present. "
"You're like this house. You suffer, you show your wounds, but you stand."
TRIVIA
Audrey's salary of $350,000 for the film was
the highest salary an actress had ever received to date. When notified of
her record salary Hepburn modestly told her agent, "I'm not worth it. It's
impossible. Please don't tell anyone."
In the scene where the Rostovs invite Prince Andrei to go hunting with them,
Jeremy Brett is the only actor never on a mechanical horse: in all his shots
he is clearly on a live horse. Audrey Hepburn, Henry Fonda, Mel Ferrer,
Barry Jones and May Britt are all clearly on mechanical horses in their
close shots.
Jeremy Brett was chosen to play Nicholas in part because it was felt he
resembled his on-screen sibling, Audrey Hepburn.
