It has been claimed that the concept for

s annoying laugh was taken from "references in letters written about him", including a description of him having "an infectious giddy" laugh, and sounding "like metal scraping glass". No citations have been provided for these letters, however. There is no indication as to who wrote them, to whom or when. And in the absence of further citations, these claims of historical evidence for Mozarts laugh should be regarded as dubious at best. Robert L. Marshall, writing in "Film as Musicology: Amadeus" (The Musical Quarterly, Vol.18/2, 1997, p.177) says that there is "absolutely no historical evidence for this idiosyncrasy Mozarts infuriating laugh. We simply have no contemporary testimony at all as to how Mozart sounded when he laughed." Marshall goes on to explain that the laugh is a dramatic device, representing the mocking laughter of the gods, as in fact
Antonio Salieri
recognizes in the script.

Two of the real trains tank cars also contained thousands of gallons of molten phenol, similar to the fictional train in the film.
d.
The White House speechwriter named "Mike" played by
Colin Hanks

David Frum
