A disappointment at the box office, summed up by Ann-Margret in her autobiography: "Nobody wanted to see me as a woman of the world. They wanted Kim from [Bye Bye Birdie (1963)]. . [Elvis Presley] had the same problem. Audiences didn't want us to grow up."
Jean Negulesco, the director of this film, also directed Three Coins in the Fountain (1954), of which this film is a remake.
