Did You Know?
| Trivia | Anouk Aimée (Justine) couldn't bear being without her lover and future husband Albert Finney during location shooting and wanted to leave. Director George Cukor persuaded her friend Omar Sharif to convince her of the dire consequences for her career if she did. Although Sharif failed, Finney was able to convince her to finish this movie. See more » |
| Goofs | A little more than an hour into the film, Dirk Bogarde's character is kissed on the neck by a heavily made-up prostitute in his room. He turns to the camera and his neck is clean. Shortly afterward, Bogarde looks in a mirror and he has a prominent red lipstick kiss on his cheek, though he was never kissed there. See more » |
