Sir Laurence Olivier wanted to do his own stunts despite his infirmity. Director George Roy Hill had built for Olivier a specially designed bicycle with a motor to give the appearance that the cyclist was pedaling. Olivier wouldn't stand for this, however, and when Hill was away, he got on the real bike and rode down a hill on his own, proving his cycling competency.
Film debuts of Diane Lane (Lauren) and Thelonious Bernard (Daniel).
Thelonious Bernard spoke very little English, and had no prior acting experience. Prior to principal photography, he spent a month at the home of director George Roy Hill, where he did a crash course in acting and English.
Filming in Paris, where he had been part of the U.S. Army when they liberated the city in 1944, was a great experience for Broderick Crawford. According to co-star David Dukes, "He could still walk into restaurants where the owner would remember him and sit him down to dinner."
The first and last films which Daniel (Thelonius Bernard) watches were both directed by this film's director, George Roy Hill; Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) and The Sting (1973) (in Venice, entitled, La Stangata).
"Daniel Michon: You have a father or just a mother? Lauren King: No, I have a father. As a matter of fact, I'm on my third. Daniel Michon: [surprised] Does your mother divorce them or just kill them? Lauren King: [laughs] No, still alive. Daniel Michon: What does the latest one do? Lauren King: He's in telephones. Daniel Michon: Telephones. What does he do exactly? Lauren King: Exactly? He's the head of ICT. In Europe. Daniel Michon: So. You're a capitalist. Lauren King: [shakes her head] My father's a capitalist. My own politics are more... radical than my parents'. Daniel Michon: It's easy to be liberal when you're rich. I've seen it in films."
"Lauren King: So what does your father do? Daniel Michon: He drives. Lauren King: A truck? Daniel Michon: No... a taxi. Lauren King: You shouldn't be embarrassed, it's honest work. Daniel Michon: Not the way he does it."
