Trivia
When Inspector Uhl approaches Prince Leopold while hunting, to inform him of Eisenheim and Sophie's meetings, the Prince asks what they were seen doing together. The line asking if they were seen "fornicating" was originally filmed as "fucking." It was overdubbed to avoid an "R" Rating. MPAA policy stated that "fuck" could not be used to refer to intercourse in a PG-13 film.
