Wissenswertes
Walter Matthau was the first choice for the Eli Wallach part but was asking $200,000, so the producers opted for the less expensive George C. Scott. Scott had been on the set for a few weeks before shooting began. However, on his first day of shooting, he didn't show up until after lunch, and director William Wyler decided to fire him. He was already finding it difficult to handle two heavy drinkers, Peter O'Toole and Hugh Griffith, and the prospect of a third was just too overwhelming. On hearing of Scott's removal from the production, Audrey Hepburn became quite inconsolable.

Patzer
When Bonnet gives the curator the statue, the curator touches the white marble with his bare hands. A real curator would never touch a marble work of art with bare hands, as the oils from the skin can stain the marble, turning it yellow. Curators always wear white gloves before touching any work of art.

Zitate
[Nicole describes the burglar to her Papa]
Nicole Bonnet: Well, it was pitch dark and there he was. Tall, blue eyes, slim, quite good-looking... in a brutal, mean way, Papa. A terrible man!

Galoshes

What makes a movie like this so wonderful? It's probably just an age thing (I remember seeing this movie at the cinema), but when I saw it again recently I just felt a sense of joy and pleasure and, yes, optimism. Now these are words that may be almost incomprehensible to today's jaded, cynical and, often, brutalised audiences, and I am sure that many would see this movie as slow, naive and totally irrelevant.

But for me the effortless playing, the perfect timing and understated sophistication is so much more intelligent, witty and rewarding than the clunking, crude sign-posted so called "rom-coms" of today.

This is not their best film by any means, but to watch O'Toole and Hepburn playing off each other with such natural and fluent grace is simply magical. Lighthearted fluff like this completely works when the actors really know what they are doing.

And has there ever been anybody who is simultaneously so sophisticated and vulnerable as Audrey Hepburn? There is a scene where she is wearing a chaste little nightdress and she put on a pair of ordinary street galoshes. As she clumps across the room she displays more sex appeal and sheer class than any of today's moussed up, made up, blown up actresses could ever comprehend.
