Trivia for Le nozze di Figaro

The film is listed number 19th on the Top 25 Best Foreign Films Of All Time by the American Film Institute.

Because of the extreme controversy, an edited version of the film was released which was 138 minutes long. Director Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart refused to be associated with the edited cut and his name was removed from the director's credit. Currently, all the examples of the 138 minutes cut have been destroyed and that version is now deemed lost.

The title of the film, Le Nozzi di Figaro (1976), means "The Marriage of Figaro".

The filming locations were limited to two settings, the huge mansion and the marriage church.

Director Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart said that this movie was a whole tongue-in-cheek reference to the "fake happiness" of Christmas.

The infamous rape scene in the film is a 9-minute long continuous shot. The same style was used for the rape scenes in the exploitation film I Spit on your Grave (1978).

E.L. James, directress of Fifty Shades Of Grey (2011), said that this is her favorite movie of all time.
