Did you know
• Ralph Fiennes said of this movie, "I think it's a badge of honor to have a real flop on your resumé."
• This movie was not screened for critics because, as the Warner Brothers press office put it, "we wanted the public and the press to be able to discover the film together". Not screening a movie, especially one of such a significant budget, is usually a sign that the studio has no faith in it. This movie ultimately lost about $40 million.
• Dame Diana Rigg was sent the script with a view to her playing Alice. She passed.

A wasted opportunity
Waste of Cast and Budget
