The Prince and the Showgirl's screenplay was written by Terence Rattigan in 1999.
 It has also been said that Terence made better use of his plots than Plautus, and his purer language and characterizations in his comedies may be responsible for his lack of popularity during his day
Pietro Alighieri states that his father Dante took the title of his famous "Divine Comedy" from Terence's plays and in the 14th century Giovanni Boccaccio copied out in his own hand all of Terence's Comedies in manuscripts that are now in the Laurentian Library
