TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

During the filming, Capucine objected to filming kissing scenes with Laurence Harvey, feeling that he was not manly enough for her. Harvey reportedly replied, "Perhaps if you were more of a woman, I would be more of a man. Honey, kissing you is like kissing the side of a beer bottle."

Several contemporary reviewers mentioned that, although the film was set in the 1930s, Capucine seemed to be wearing contemporary (1962) fashions. Director Edward Dmytryk stated that it was because she was the "protégé" (i.e., live-in girlfriend) of producer Charles K. Feldman, who decreed that, despite the film's 1930s setting, she would be dressed in the latest Pierre Cardin designs.

The first Hollywood film to openly feature lesbianism. Barbara Stanwyck became the first American actress to portray a lesbian character in a feature film.

According to Penny Stallings' 'Flesh and Fantasy', when Barbara Stanwyck first encountered Laurence Harvey on the set lounging in his gold brocade bathrobe and drinking champagne, she walked up to him and said, "All right, Larry, let's go! Get your ass in gear. We've got a picture to make, and I don't have time for prima donnas!" After a moment of silence, this struck Harvey as highly amusing, and he burst into laughter. He and Stanwyck immediately became friends.

Anne Baxter was pregnant during the filming. At the end of the production, she was in her sixth month.

Popular Dialogues

"Preacher: Jezebel! That's right, I mean you! Now both of you sinners are hurrying past. Dove Linkhorn: You got no business with us mister. Preacher: Oh, sinners is my business. You and that hip-slinging daughter of Satan. You know there's the smell of sulfur and brimstone about you. The smell of hellfire. Dove Linkhorn: Who ordained preacher? Preacher: I am self-ordained son; I had the call. Dove Linkhorn: You were called by the wrong voice mister. Preacher: Lord strike this sinner down. Send a bolt down to smite and consume the blasphemer now! Dove Linkhorn: He won't hear you. Cause you no friend of God or man - standing there hollering hate to the world. God is love. God is mercy and forgiveness. Try preaching that sometime Mr. Preacher. Teach people to forgive, not to crawl in fear. Teach people to love, not hate. preach the good book - preach the truth."

"Dove Linkhorn: What are you doing here, Kitty? Kitty Twist: [licking a cigarette after the statement] I run the candy concession."
