Trivia This movie had troubles with the U.S. censor, the Production Code Administration, because of the apparent justification of the immoral relationship between the Prince of Wales, played by Sir Peter Ustinov, and Mrs. Fitzherbert, played by Rosemary Harris, because a steward at a gentlemen's club had the manner of a "sex pervert", because the Prince checks the gender of a dog, and because of the use of the word "damn". Changes were made, but the running time remained the same. See more »
Goofs The final meeting between a dying Brummell and George IV is fiction, as the King declined the meeting and Brummell was not on his deathbed at the time. He outlived George IV by ten years. See more »
