In 1953 Katharine Hepburn planned to film this George Bernard Shaw piece and hired Preston Sturges to pen a screenplay. Despite the fact that Sturges turned in a very funny script, the deal to make the movie, which would have co-starred Alec Guinness, fell apart.
20th Century-Fox wanted Ava Gardner for the title role.
At 14 minutes into the film, Epifania (Sophia Loren) climbs a bridge railing and jumps into the River Thames. That bridge was the "New" London Bridge, and it now stands. The original bridge, after being dismantled, was shipped to America, and reconstructed at Lake Havasu City, Arizona USA.
The casting was widely condemned, by white people during the modern era of political correctness, as racist.
"Dr. Ahmed el Kabir: [sailing across the Thames to his surgery, noticing Epifania attempting suicide] Hello, good day for a swim! Epifania Parerga: I am not swimming, I am committing suicide Dr. Ahmed el Kabir: Very good Epifania Parerga: You don't understand, I'm killing myself Dr. Ahmed el Kabir: Well, it is our common destiny, good day"
"Epifania Parerga: You're not a man, you're an Englishman!"
