Ava Gardner's first film as a freelance actress after completing her 20-year studio contract at MGM, where she had worked for a weekly salary and did not benefit financially from being loaned to other studios. As a freelance actress, she was free to choose her roles and negotiate her salary.
The film had its world premiere on December 17, 1959 in more than 20 cities worldwide, including Moscow. It was the first time an American film had had a premiere in the Soviet Union. The special premiere in Moscow was held at a workers' club, with the attendance of 1200 Soviet dignitaries, the foreign press corps, diplomats, and US Ambassador Llewellyn Thompson. Gregory Peck and his wife traveled to the Soviet Union for the premiere.
