The film is a co-production of France, Poland and the United States.  It premiered in Italy at the Venice Film Festival on 6 September 2006.

Loosely based on folkloric accounts of the real Onofrio del Grillo (who lived in the eighteenth century), this character plays a number of pranks, one even involving Pope Pius VII.

The Yentl Syndrome is the different course of action that heart attacks usually follow for women than for men.  This is a problem because much of medical research has focused primarily on symptoms of male heart attacks, and many women have died due to misdiagnosis because their symptoms present differently.  The name is taken from the 1983 film "Yentl" starring Barbra Streisand in which her character plays the role of a male in order to receive the education she desires.  The phrase was coined in a 1991 academic paper by Dr. Bernadine Healy titled "The Yentl syndrome." "Tearjerker" is the tenth episode of the fourth season of the animated comedy series "American Dad! ".  It originally aired on Fox in the United States on January 13, 2008.

This episode follows Agent Stan Smith during his infiltration of a movie set, where he finds Matthew McConaughey to be a robot, as well as Johnny Depp during his visit on Tearjerker's island.  Tearjerker, the main antagonist of the episode, is a business tycoon who has been abducting celebrities from his spa and replacing them with robots that will star in his horrible movies.  While in the meantime he is pressured to accept a marriage by Sexpun T'Come, Stan goes to stop Tearjerker from premiering his tragedy film in cinemas worldwide, making those who watch it cry to death literally.

The novel was published first and "The Da Vinci Code" novel followed it.  Filming took place in Rome, Italy, and the Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California.

Puritan Passions is a 1923 silent film directed by Frank Tuttle, based on Percy MacKaye's 1908 play "The Scarecrow", which was itself based on Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story "Feathertop".  The film stars Glenn Hunter, Mary Astor, and stage actor Osgood Perkins.  It follows the play faithfully, except that Osgood Perkins' character is called Dickon in the play and Dr. Nicholas in the movie, and Justice Gilead Merton is renamed Justice Gilead Wingate in the film.  It is the only theatrical film version – so far – of Percy MacKaye's play, though there were previously two silent film versions of Hawthorne's original story.
