Gary Cooper was very pleased with his performance and very disappointed that the majority of critics thought him miscast due to his age. Indeed, the film's box-office failure was largely attributed to his being considered too old to play Audrey Hepburn's lover. In April 1958 he had a full facelift and other cosmetic surgery, but the procedure was largely unsuccessful.
Frank Flannagan's date at the opera was played by an uncredited Audrey Young, wife of Billy Wilder.
The movie was a critical and commercial failure on release. Many critics felt that 55-year-old Gary Cooper was too old for the part, and ought to have turned it down, as Cary Grant had.
Film debut of John McGiver. He appeared again with Audrey Hepburn as the salesman at Tiffany's jewelry store in the movie " Breakfast at Tiffany's".
A line was dubbed into the release print to dispel the impression that Audrey Hepburn's and Gary Cooper's characters actually have sex in their many afternoon meetings in his hotel room. As he is moving out of frame in Maurice Chevalier's office, Cooper obviously replaces a different filmed line in voiceover, and says, "I can't get to first base with her." This appears to be an effort at self-censorship, given the clear implications of sexual intimacy that come before this scene.
"Ariane Chavasse: Working on a new case? Claude Chavasse: A client from Brussels. His wife ran away to Paris with the chauffeur. I have to find them; the husband wants his car back."
"Monsieur X: Please, monsieur, is the news good or bad? Claude Chavasse: That depends. Is this your wife? [Hands over a photograph] Monsieur X: It looks like her. Claude Chavasse: Then I regret to inform you that it looks bad. Monsieur X: Then there IS another man! Claude Chavasse: There is. And I regret to say that he looks good."
