Papillon trivia

"Papillon" is one of those rare films that were given two major releases by two different distributors. First, Allied Artists and then Columbia released it in 1973.
'Dustin Hoffman' (qv) had to wear contact lenses so that he could see correctly through the thick glasses he had to wear.
Although billed as a true story, the French in French Guiana claim that much of the story of 'Henri Charrière' (qv) (Papillon) is fabricated. Papillon was documented to have been incarcerated in Saint Laurent and may have escaped from there, but he never served any time on the Devil's Islands (now known as Iles du Salut or Salvation Islands). The book and movie both present Devil's Island as having rocky cliffs, when in fact, though the entire island is rocky, it gently slopes into the surrounding sea.
'Dustin Hoffman' (qv) based his character on the movie's screenwriter 'Dalton Trumbo' (qv), particularly his withdrawn and shy mannerisms which had inspired Hoffman when meeting Trumbo for the first time.
'Dustin Hoffman' (qv)'s then wife, 'Anne Byrne Hoffman' (qv), plays his (uncredited) wife in this movie and is the very first person to utter any words of dialog in the opening sequence.
