Dirty tricks stand to soil an ambitious young press spokesman's idealism in a cutthroat presidential campaign where 'victory' is relative.
What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on the 2008 play “Farragut North” by American playwright Beau Willimon. It received this title after one of the Washington Metro stations, Farragut North, which is located north of Farragut Square.
- Sony Pictures wanted the film to retain the play’s title, “Farragut North.” George Clooney managed to defend the original title he had chosen, but not without difficulty.
- The film’s opening credits state that it was filmed in Michigan, however, almost all exterior shots were filmed in Cincinnati, Ohio. The film’s producers later apologized for this oversight and promised that it would be corrected upon DVD release.
- Copies of the film were delivered to American cinemas under the false title "Double Vision".
- The Ides (Latin: Idus, from Etruscan iduare, "to divide") was the name for the middle day of the month in the Roman calendar. The 15th of the month marked the Ides in March, May, July, and October; the 13th in the remaining eight months. After the calendar reform by Julius Caesar (see Julian calendar), the connection between the length of the month and the date of the Ides was lost. On the Ides of March (March 15th), 44 BC, Julius Caesar was assassinated by conspirators.
