Funny Fact

During the filming of Horatio Nelson's death scene in That Hamilton Woman, Laurence Olivier's wig caught on fire without him realizing. Henry Wilcoxon saw it and started hitting Laurence over the head to put out the flame. It wasn't until Henry ripped the wig off Laurence's head that Laurence realized what was actually happening.
