    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Derek Fowlds, who played Maxim, recalled how one day on set, he told Gina Lollobrigida she had "the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen." She simply looked him up and down and walked off and never spoke to him again. Alec Guinness also had problems with Ms. Lollobrigida, and the two rarely spoke.
    • Goofs
      The women do not wear the correct type of shoe. In this period - late Victorian to WWI - women wore high buttoned boots as daily wear.
    • Quotes

      Benedict Boniface: I'll show you what a man should be. Strong, tender and terrible in his passion.

      Marcelle Cot: Well, Monsieur Boniface! You may be rather plain, but you certainly have a way with women!

    Great fun!
    I never knew that Gina Lollobrigida and Alec Guinness had such knack for comedy. What a treat to see them in such a caper. This is a fast paced film with complex twists, interesting screenplay, endless surprises, good acting, and just great fun for the whole family. This is how comedies should be.
