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 Drei Münzen im Brunnen (1954), of which this film is a remake.
