Shirley MacLaine and Robert Mitchum began a love affair that lasted for years during the shooting of this film. Mitchum and MacLaine continued their affair all over the world, traveling together to locales such as New Orleans, New York, London, Paris, and even West Africa. The relationship, however, would end after a couple of years, with Mitchum returning to his wife, and MacLaine to her husband, Steve Parker.

"Otherwise how will the audience believe it?"
