| 1 | * DivorcedInstallment: Creator/WilliamWyler first considered making this film as a follow up to ''Film/RomanHoliday''; as in that film, Creator/GregoryPeck would have played the male lead opposite Creator/AudreyHepburn. At that time he had a darker mood in mind and approached Creator/StanleyKubrick, who had recently made ''The Killing'', to contribute. |
| 2 | * FakeNationality: Creator/AudreyHepburn, born to British and Dutch parents, plays the French Nicole, and the Welsh Hugh Griffith plays her father. |
| 3 | * FriendshipOnTheSet: Rumours abounded that Creator/PeterOToole and Creator/AudreyHepburn had an affair during filming. These rumours were untrue, though the two did become good friends. |
| 4 | * RoleEndingMisdemeanor: During production, Hugh Griffith was fired for persistent bad behaviour, including walking around naked through the corridors of the George V Hotel holding a 'Do no disturb' sign over his privates, which he'd altered to read 'Do disturb'. |
| 5 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: Creator/WalterMatthau was the first choice for Davis Leland but was looking for $200,000 so they went with the less expensive Creator/GeorgeCScott. Scott had been on the set a few weeks before shooting began. However on his first day of shooting, he didn't turn up until after lunch, and Creator/WilliamWyler took the decision to fire him. |
