- TriviaThe real Giacomo Casanova was only thirty at the time of his imprisonment. Frank Finlay was forty-five when he played Casanova, so that he appears in the prison scenes to be looking back, not only over his youth, but the course of his life.
- Alternate versionsWhen the BBC repeated the series in 1974, the six episodes were re-edited as two ninety-five minute episodes shown on consecutive nights; the chronology of the scenes was altered, with the scenes of Frank Finlay in old age now at the beginning and end and all events in-between appearing as flashbacks.

Featured review
To the person who asked if the above mentioned was available in video. It is, from Amazon.com, UK. The only problem is that it's playable only on foreign DVD players, as it's in the PAL format, not NTSC, for North America. Here's hoping one day that they'd make a version for sale in the U.S.. Hope it helps. It was certainly better than the "TV movie" with Richard Chamberlin (I think I might have his name wrong). They never showed it in St. Louis (as I had to see it as a fuzzy copy from a tv station in Illinois and I never got to see it all from the beginning). I would hope that when, and if, it would be released for sale, in the U.S., that they would release it in the full (uncut) version, as many times, they don't (as will feature films).
