1. The camera is constantly in motion, even if only subtly, in every shot as per the request of Robert Altman, the producer and director of the film.
2. "Downton Abbey" (2010), a TV series created by Julian Fellowes, was originally intended to be a spin-off of "Gosford Park." However, it ultimately became a standalone property inspired by the movie, set several decades earlier.
3. Robert Altman deliberately included multiple instances of the "f" word in the film to ensure an R-rating and dissuade younger audiences. He believed that the movie would not appeal to them, particularly fourteen-year-old boys.

5. The exquisite jewelry worn by the upper-class women in the film was all authentic and required armed guards for transportation to the set.

8. The hand-painted wallpaper in Constance Trentham's bedroom was imported from France. Although it would have cost $18,000, the manufacturer generously donated it to the production. However, the owners of the house insisted on re-papering the walls to match their bedding after filming concluded.
9. The film does not feature an animal rights tag in the closing credits because the shooting scene involving birds utilized real birds that were shot.

Fellowes, previously an actor with limited success, seized the opportunity and showcased his work ethic, contributing to his subsequent accomplishments.
12. Altman enlisted the expertise of retired staff members, including a cook, valet, and housekeeper, to serve as consultants and train the actors portraying servants, ensuring authenticity in their performances.
