Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia Gary Cooper was very pleased with his performance and very disappointed that the majority of critics thought him miscast due to his age. Indeed, the film's box-office failure was largely attributed to his being considered too old to play Audrey Hepburn's lover. In April 1958 he had a full facelift and other cosmetic surgery, but the procedure was largely unsuccessful. See more »
Goofs When the gypsy musicians are playing for Flannagan in the Turkish bath, the lead violinist discovers that the condensation has made his instrument fill up with water, tips it out, and continues playing: the sound is unaltered. See more »
