What's left behind the scenes
- The plot is not based on one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's (1859-1930) Sherlock Holmes stories, but on the real matchgirls' strike of 1888 and the life of activist Sarah Chapman (1862-1945).
- The mystery that Enola investigates is that matchstick girls are dying from “typhus” caused by working with white phosphorus. This disease actually exists and is called phosphorus necrosis of the jaw. The workers breathed in phosphorus fumes day after day, which caused their teeth and jaws to slowly decay, ultimately leading to death. Even after the link between phosphorus and the deaths of the workers was definitively established, a ban on the use of white phosphorus was not introduced for several decades.
- Sam Claflin was unable to return to the role of Mycroft due to commitments to other projects. Director Harry Bradbeer stated that he really wanted Claflin to play Mycroft, and that he hopes Claflin will be available if a third film is made.
