Wissenswertes
At the same time in Moscow, Guy Burgess also met with Sir Michael Redgrave, who was playing Hamlet, and whom he had known at Cambridge University. A memo from January 9, 1959, declassified in 2014, described their going to a party together and to Burgess' flat, showing that Redgrave had been under surveillance by MI5 for his alleged Communist sympathies for many years.

Patzer
When Coral, in Burgess' flat, says 'The theatre's in a dreadful state', her lips are out of sync.

Zitate
Coral: I wouldn't care, but it's only the interval. If you want to come round and be sick you might at least save it for the end of the performance.

Crazy Credits
[At end of opening credits] "Although some incidents are imaginary... this is a true story. It happened to Coral Browne in 1958."

Bates and Schlesinger together again

John Schlesinger made his first feature "A Kind Of Loving" with the young Alan Bates. It was an extraordinary debut. They also work together in "Far From The Madding Crowd" and in a TV adaptation of Terence Rattigan's "Separate Tables" with Julie Christie. In "An Englishman Abroad" their artistic relationship is at its peak. The idea came from the incomparable Coral Browne, a true story. They told the story to Alan Bennett and Mr Bennett came out with this piercing, funny, sad true story of a gay British spy living, or surviving his exile in Moscow, without an ounce of resentment. No, all the disappointment, every bit of regret is in Alan Bates's eyes. What a spectacular performance. This beautiful film deserves a serious revival.
