As Alan Swann (Peter O'Toole) and Benjy Stone (Mark Linn-Baker) are preparing to leave for dinner on their first night together, Swann says that, as a dramatic actor, he doesn't understand comedy and then quotes the great English actor Edmund Kean as having said on his deathbed, "Dying is easy. Comedy is hard." In fact, there is no evidence that Kean was the one responsible for that line. According to director George Seaton, character actor Edmund Gwenn is indeed supposed to have said something similar (though not quite as eloquent) on his deathbed, although Gwenn died in 1959, and, thus, could not have been quoted by Swann in a movie set in 1954.
