Did You Know?
| Trivia | (Cameo) Richard Burton: Uncredited, as man in a strip club. Burton appears with Peter O'Toole in a scene in a bar where Burton asks O'Toole, "Don't you know me from someplace?" O'Toole responds: "Give my regards to what's her name." The dialogue is a reference to their appearance together in Becket (1964), and to Burton's wife at the time, Elizabeth Taylor. See more » |
