While translating and subtitling "1984" (Michael Radford version, filmed in 1984), as a personal project, I realized some explicit Easter eggs were embedded in the movie, linking production crew names to characters and ordnances.
The following quotes don't exist in Orwell's book. Coincidence or not:
Costume Designer Emma Porteous christens an ordnance, as in "12,300 Porteous piloted missiles". (some alliteration here: "Porteous piloted")
Art Department Assistant Amanda Grenville christens an ordnance, as in "3.1 million Grenville gas-operated light machine guns". (some alliteration here: "Grenville gas-operated")
Producer Simon Perry christens an ordnance, as in "9 million Perry pineapple pin grenades". (some alliteration here: "Perry pineapple pin")
Executive Producer Marvin J. Rosenblum christens an unperson, as in "Outer Party member 4392, Rosenblum, Miniprod, Light Industry Section".
Associate Producer John Davis christens an unperson, as in "Outer Party member 66755, Davis, Miniprod, Women's Section".
Art Director Grant Hicks christens an unperson, as in "Outer Party member 53922, Hicks, Minirec, Proletarian Affairs Section".
Assistant Editor Nicolette Bolgar christens an unperson, as in "Outer Party member 947743, Bolgar, Minitrue, Records Section".
Wardrobe Supervisor John Brady christens an unperson, as in "Outer Party member 5739, Brady, Minitrue, Records Section".
Co-producer Robert Devereux christens an unperson, as in "Outer Party member 984213, Devereux, Minitrue, Records Section".
Production Buyer Peter Rutherford christens the character played by actor Peter Frye.
While "Davis", "Brady" and "Rosenblum" may be regarded as usual names, "Porteous", "Bolgar" and "Grenville" seem as equating to my hypothesis of intentional use, on the other hand.
