[edit] Filming location

The page makes reference to Powerscourt House in Co Wicklow as one of the principal filming locations. The house used is actually Carton House, County Kildare and is referenced at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carton_House. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.71.161.230 (talk) 12:23, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] On the Duel

The synopsis emphasizes on the cowardice of captain Quin for faking the duel. In my opinion it should be pointed out, that the Brady family's main interest was not to harm the prosperous designated husband for Nora – instead they risked Barry's life, exposing him to the possible threat of beeing fatally wounded by Quin's live round. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.180.97.189 (talk) 14:03, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The low-light cameras

I think I read an anecdote once claiming Kubrick talked his way into borrowing a one-of-a-kind camera for some of the low-light Barry Lyndon photography; the guy who invented the camera found out and asked the guy in charge of the camera inventory, "What the hell is Stanley Kubrick doing with that camera? You know it's priceless and irreplaceable, right?" If someone with a better memory can find the anecdote it might be useful to put in that part of the article.
