Facts about
Producer Harry Saltzman was an avid fan of the play. He urged John Osborne and Tony Richardson to set up Woodfall films with a remit to make realistic homegrown movies. Look Back in Anger was their first production.
Harry Salzman recalled it was "a monumental miscalculation" to have cast Burton and who was "too old anyway" and "looked as if he could handle himself so capably that he'd lay anyone he hated out flat."
The character of Ma Tanner was only referred to in the play, never seen. For the film version, she was brought vigorously to life by Edith Evans.
