** The role of Simone Clouseau was offered to Creator/AvaGardner and Creator/JanetLeigh before Capucine got the part. In her autobiography, Leigh states she turned it down because she had recently gotten married to fourth husband Robert Brandt and didn't want to go on location and away from her new husband. Gardner accepted the role, but both her salary and personal demands were deemed unacceptable to the producers. Creator/BrigitteBardot was also considered.

* DyeingForYourArt: Somewhat overweight for much of his life up to this point and possessing a hang-dog face, Creator/PeterSellers was obsessed with becoming a handsome leading man. Although he easily outperformed Robert Wagner in this picture, he envied the American actor's good looks. To get himself in better shape, he subjected himself to a gruelling weight-loss regimen that included the excessive use of diet pills, possibly a contributing factor to the heart attack he suffered before the film's release. Some biographers also claim he had his teeth straightened and capped.
