Cool stuff

-Most of the filming took place in London, at places like Trafalgar Square, the central court of Somerset House in the Strand, Grosvenor Chapel on South Audley Street near Hyde Park, St. Paul's Clapham on Rectory Grove, Clapham in the London Borough of Lambeth, The Millenium Bridge, Selfridges department store on Oxford Street, Lambeth Bridge, the Tate Modern, Canary Wharf, Marble Arch, London City Hall.
-For some reason, the movie did not really catch on in the US. I wonder why? I thought it was a really funny movie. I like it. But then again, sometimes people in the US may be a little hesitant to accept movies from other countries, like England.

Trivia
-The scene where Kris Marshall's character Colin insults the caterer's food was actually a scene written for Hugh Grant in Four Weddings and a Funeral
-Olivia Olson, who plays Sam's crush Joanna, does all her own singing.
-In 2004, it was the most rented DVD in the UK
-The house in which Colin Firth's character stays in France, including the dock, was heavily damaged by fire during the 2003 heat wave, but the house survived.
-The video for Billy Mack's Christmas Is All Around, is a clear and kind tribute to the videos that Robert Palmer usually shot, with him in a good suit, backed up by an all girl band, dressed up and dancing in a back and forth manner.
-The vicar used in Peter and Juliet's wedding is a real vicar. 
-They had to put Emma Thompson in a fat suit because in real life she is a very thin woman
-Kris Marshall returned the pay check he got for the scene where the 3 American girls undress him. He said he had so much fun having 3 girls undress him for 21 takes that he was willing to do it for free.
-Knowing that Billy Bob Thornton has a ridiculous fear of antique furniture, Hugh Grant had fun flashing furniture in front of Thornton to see him freak out.

Reno Smith(Robert Ryan), the unofficial leader of the town, informs Macreedy that Komoko, who is Japanese-American, was interned during World War II
-Suspicious of something, Macreedy sees the town sheriff tim Horn(Dean Jagger), but the alcoholic lawman is afraid of Smith.The local animal vet and undertaker Doc Velie(Walter Brennan) tells Macreedy to leave town immediately. Smith then somehow lets it slip that Komoko is dead. Pete's sister Liz(Anne Francis) gets Macreedy a Jeep and he uses it to drive to nearby Adobe Flats where Komoko lived. When he arrives, all he finds is a burned down homestead. On his way back, Coley Trimble(Ernest Borgnine) tries to run him off the road

-Later on when Smith asks Macreedy, he informs Smith that he lost the use of his arm fighting in Italy. Macreedy tells him that wildflowers were found near the Komoko place, leading him to believe that Komoko's body is buried underneath. Smith reveals that he is violently against Japanese and Japanese-Americans; and he was inspired to enlist after the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, but was rejected.
-Macreedy tries to phone the state police, but Pete refuses to put the call through. Doc Velie tells him that something has happend 4 years ago and that Smith is too scared to talk.

When Horn confronts Smith, he takes the badge and gives it to Hector, who rips up the telegram

-After Smith and Hector leave, Macreedy finds that the loss of his arm left him in self pity, but Smith's attempt to kill him have made him stronger.
