Facts about

This was the last movie Clark Gable made that was released during his lifetime. The 33-year age difference between him and Sophia Loren was blamed for the film's poor performance. There was in fact some surprise that he had accepted the part, since at a press conference while filming But Not for Me he had announced that he was no longer going to play romantic leads.
The film was shot in and around Naples and Sophia Loren had to sneak into the country to make the movie, because the Italian government was investigating her Mexican "marriage" to Carlo Ponti, who was still legally married to another woman.
A much younger and slimmer double stood in for Clark Gable in the brief nude scene, which was only seen in silhouette.
