Trivia
After Walter Bernstein had his name removed from the credits, the only scriptwriter mentioned for the film was Sidney Howard, credited with "adaptation". Howard had done an English-language version of Molnar's play for Broadway long before (in the 1920s); by the time, this film appeared, he had been dead for over twenty years. See more »Goofs
Vehicles are seen driving on the right. The Austrians drove on the left until about 1933, well after the period of this story. See more »Soundtracks

A lot of talent was wasted in this uninspired remake of 'His Glorious Night', based on a Molnar Play. The lovely Sophia Loren is beautiful to look at as a spirited Ruritanian princess falling in love with the stereotyped brash American industrialist. There are no new ideas here. Visually, it's appealing, but with all the talent involved, it should have been much better.
