- TriviaMarion Cotillard is a big fan of Kate Winslet and presented her with the Best Actress Oscar for Người Đọc Sách (2008) at the 2009 Academy Awards and was visibly happy for her win. Cotillard had auditioned for the role of Hanna Schmitz in The Reader that ended up with Winslet and earned her an Oscar. A few years later, Cotillard stated that she always dreamed about making a movie with Winslet, and that she was upset when they didn't share any scenes in Bệnh Truyền Nhiễm (2011). In 2012, Cotillard was featured on Winslet's book "The Golden Hat: Talking Back To Autism" (launched by Winslet's Golden Hat Foundation) with celebrity self-portraits to raise awareness and support for autism. In 2013, Cotillard wrote a review for Variety praising Winslet's performance in Labor Day (2013), and also said she has loved Winslet since the first time she saw her in Tạo Vật Của Thiên Đường (1994). Winslet wrote Cotillard a letter asking her to play French Vogue editor (and Lee Miller's close friend) Solange d'Ayen in this film, making it the first time they shared scenes together in a film.
- GoofsMiller is refused entry to Hitler's apartment, because it's "Officers only". War Correspondents were accorded the rank of Captain, so, technically, the US Army guard should have granted her admission.
- Quotes
Lee Miller: Don't make promises you can't keep.
Solange D'Ayen: [When they meet again later] Don't make promises you can't keep.
- Crazy creditsThe closing credits have some "what happened to" explanations ; and some of Lee's original photos, often alongside the ones which were recreated for the film.
Featured review
Winslet excels in a fine bio of Lee Miller
You have got to admire Kate Winslet for her determination to make a film about Lee Miller, the pioneering photographer who was one of the first to see the nazi death camps and who fought for her right to record history as she saw it, and as a woman. Winslet campaigned for years and was consistently turned down but she did finally achieve her aim, and the resulting film is a pretty good, sometimes very good. Winslet as Lee Miller is excellent, and although initially the film meanders through millers career in the early stages of the war, later, as she gets more involved, it's a much better film, often impressive and insightful and even powerful. Miller is someone worth commemorating, and this is a fine tribute.
