Bing Crosby wanted to marry Inger Stevens after making this film, but she refused to convert to Catholicism.
The film was released in Sweden, Inger Stevens's country of birth, on October 21, 1957, three days before Bing Crosby married Kathryn Grant.
First non-singing dramatic role of Bing Crosby, although he had delivered a strikingly serious performance in "The Country Girl" (1954).
This film failed at the box office, resulting in a loss of $542,000 according to studio records.
