This movie is a theatrical version of Oscar Wilde's 1892 four-act comedy, "Lady Windermere's Fan".
Joseph Fiennes was originally offered the role of Lord Darlington, but turned it down to play Bassanio in Michael Radford's adaptation of The Merchant of Venice (2004).
The historic airliner used at the end of this movie is a De Havilland Dragon Rapide biplane, built in Britain in the 1930s. This one is registration D-ILIT, and is privately owned in Germany. It is fully airworthy (as can be seen in this movie) and appears at air displays.
The film cast includes one Oscar winner: Helen Hunt; and two Oscar nominees: Tom Wilkinson and Scarlett Johansson.
