Trivia
Sir Dirk Bogarde was invariably very unwilling to do promotional work for his movies, so it was a surprise when, at the time this movie opened in New York City, he did a series of interviews for American radio and on local television talk shows to advertise it.

He had been vacationing in the U.S. and had run out of money, and so agreed to do this work in return for Paramount Pictures paying his expenses to get home. See more »Quotes
