In 1952, when this film was released, Austria was under joint Allied occupation (American, British, French and Soviet areas). Vienna, much like Berlin, was also divided among four zones of occupation. In 1955, as a result of the newly signed Austrian State Treaty, most of the Allied occupation armies, including the Soviet Army, withdrew from Austria.
In 1952, when this movie was made, Trieste was an independent city state, under the protection of the United Nations as the Free Territory of Trieste. The territory of Trieste was divided into two zones of occupation. Zone A was administered by the Allied Military Government (American and British Armed Forces) while zone B remained under the military administration of the Yugoslav People's Army. This state of affairs ended in 1954.
Second teaming of Charles Bronson/Buchinski and Lee Marvin. A year before, they both made their film debuts in You're in the Navy Now (1951). They both had uncredited bit parts, just like in this film.
Dabbs Greer, who had a 40-second uncredited non-speaking role as a clerk in this film, would the very next year co-star with Charles Bronson, who also had a uncredited role in this film, in House of Wax (1953). They would both now be credited in that film.
This film features three Academy Award winners: Patricia Neal (Best Actress), Karl Malden (Best Supporting Actor) and Lee Marvin (Best Actor).
"Joan Ross: When I started this crazy tour the last thing I was looking for was a man. Why I should pick on you, I don't know. After I know you better I may not like you. But I kept thinking about you and started looking for you. I phoned all over and Tony Bennis from the Paris embassy found out for me that you has come here. Michael, it's was exactly 11:45 a few days ago when you left me. What time is it now? Check both watches. Mike Kells: Well, it's exactly 11:37. Joan Ross: Do we resume? Heaven bless 11:37. I don't. Mike Kells: , I'd like nothing better in the world, but right now I'm sort of... I... I... I'm... tied... Joan Ross: All right, I'm gonna lay my cards on the table. Michael, tell me the truth. Are you with someone? Mike Kells: [showing a photo of a woman] No. No, I'm chasing her. My dream girl. Joan Ross: Can't be helped. Can't be helped, can it? I apologize to you Michael. I'm truly sorry. Mike Kells: No, no, no. I'm only kidding about her. I'm only doing this for an acquaintance of a friend of mine. I promised to look her up and see about her. Joan Ross: Do you have to see about her tonight? Mike Kells: It doesn't look as though I can tonight. Joan Ross: [leaning in] Darling! Let's explore Triste together!"
"Joan Ross: I'm with those people over there. They're much duller than you are. But they got far better manners so I have to lie like the dickens. Especially that one guy! He's the captain. He thinks he is a mate of mine. You know the kind. So I have to be nice to him. Darling, can you wait two minutes? Mike Kells: Yup. Joan Ross: Well... I hardly can. I'm going to, darling. [Joan leans in and passionately kisses Mike. Her cleavage shows] Joan Ross: [scene changes to a waiter looking through some curtains at Joan and Mike. He has an astonished expression, and as he brushes his hair back with his hand his toupee falls back]"
