TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Based on a novel entitled 'A Case of Need', published in 1968 and credited to Jeffrey Hudson. Decades later, Hudson was revealed to be a pseudonym for Michael Crichton.

Blake Edwards disowned the final film due to constant studio interference. He originally planned to leave the project during production, but after MGM threatened to destroy his career, he finished filming and quit the day production ended.

Working title: "A Case of Need".

The girl who dies is Melissa Torme-March. Mel Tormé's daughter.

Blake Edwards and his family had been living in England for several years, which is why his daughter Jennifer (who plays Lydia) speaks with a mild British accent.
