Trivia | Oliver Reed was severely injured and almost died when he was stabbed in the throat during the windmill duel scene. See more » |
Goofs | Richelieu refers to Buckingham as the Prime Minister of England. However, the title was not adopted until the early 1700s, and even then was an unofficial name for the First Lord of the Treasury. It was not until 1937 that it was enshrined in law as the title of the Head of Government. Although Buckingham was undoubtedly one of the most powerful members of the English Court, he had no formal position as such, as there was no equivalent of a Prime Minister: the King himself was regarded as the Head of Government as well as Head of State.

Cardinal Richelieu:
Who is the man that accuses you? Bonacieux: [Rochefort enters and Bonacieux points at him] That! That is the man! Count Rochefort: Take him away. Bonacieux: That is *not* the man! See more » |
