** Creator/MarlonBrando was initially signed to appear opposite Bella Darvi. From the time of the first script read-through, the pair disliked each other. Darvi, cast as the courtesan Nefer, was also jeered by more experienced star Creator/JeanSimmons, who laughed with other cast members that Darvi was "an actress who 'nefer' was." Just as filming was to start, Brando refused to make this movie, his agent telling studio head Darryl F. Zanuck: "He doesn't like the director, he doesn't like the role. And he can't stand Bella Darvi!" Creator/JohnCassavetes, Creator/MontgomeryClift and Creator/RockHudson were also considered.
