¿Sabías que…?
- TriviaRemarkably, this is the only major cinematic take on Geoffrey Chaucer's classic tales.

The Wife from Bath: There's nowhere in the Gospels that says we ought to stay virgins. Anyway, tell me, what were the genital organs made for at the creation? Not to lie dormant I suppose. And nobody's going to tell me they were just put there to piss through. Mark you, I use it for that as well. And every man must serve his wife in wedlock...
- Versiones alternativasThe original UK cinema version was cut by the BBFC with edits to anal sex shots, a man being whipped, and Rufus urinating on the crowd during the 'Pardoner's Tale' segment for an 'X' certificate. The cuts were fully restored in 2001 and the certificate downgraded to a '15'.

- Bandas sonorasThe Old Piper
written by Carl Hardebeck in 1912
performed by Frank McPeake
Played over the opening credits and sung frequently by Perkin the Reveler in the Cook's Tale
The logical approach would be to tell of the pilgrimage itself, and then splice 2 or 3 tales at a time, probably beginning with the joke tales, like the miller's.
It would be doubtful that one could get all the stories in, and still have a pilgrimage tale.
Here, the pilgrimage is pretty much forgotten, just mentioned at the beginning.
The cuts between stories are sometimes straights cuts, and sometimes back to Chaucer writing the tale.
The bawdiness is kept, although it is done more Italian style than English. There is a mixture of the two cultures involved here.
The stories stay fairly true to form.
It would take a huge budget to include the squire's story, and indeed, the squire's story would take some interpretation to finish. Sadly, it is left out.
Which leaves the pardoner's story as the "thriller" story. I was very much hoping this story, a natural finale, would be the climax.
I wasn't disappointed. The pardoner's tale is the masterpiece in terms of action and adventure. It isn't exactly the very last tale, but close enough to serve as the climax, as there are two very brief joke tales that follow it.
Would I piece it together like this? Probably not. I think each person would direct this in a different way, with about a half dozen general methods.
However, I liked the way this film was done. It stayed very true to form, in my opinion. Most of the tales are "raunchy humor" tales, showing the mores of what one would expect to be puritan people, most of them professionals in religion. This was well done.
