Trivia
In both this film, and in The Godfather Part II (1974), Al Pacino's character (Roy Cohn and Michael Corleone respectively) speaks the line "You broke my heart" to someone who has betrayed him.

Goofs
When Prior is woken by the ancestors for the second time, and they are shown dancing in front of him with fireworks emitting from their sleeves, they are clearly not Michael Gambon and Simon Callow, but stunt stand-ins.

Quotes
Roy Cohn: Who the fuck are you? You the nurse?
[Ethel comes into focus]
Roy Cohn: Oohhh, fuck. Ethel!
Ethel Rosenberg: You don't look so good, Roy.
Roy Cohn: Well, Ethel, I don't feel so good.
Ethel Rosenberg: You lost a lot of weight. That suits you! You were heavy back then. Zaftig. Mit hips!
Roy Cohn: I haven't been that heavy since 1960, we were all heavier back then; before the body thing started.
