This movie failed at the box office, resulting in a loss to MGM of $809,000 ($9.5 million in 2022) according to studio records.
American Robert Taylor plays an Englishman, while British Dame Elizabeth Taylor plays an American. She had unhappy memories of making this movie, later claiming that the elder Taylor had made clumsy efforts to seduce her despite the fact that she was a minor.
MGM heavily publicized this as Dame Elizabeth Taylor's first "adult" role, although she was only 16 when the production began and 17 when the movie was released.
The London Passenger Transport Board closed the Halborn Underground station for three successive nights to facilitate this production and also provided a working train and four iconic London double-decker buses. This was part of a new government policy to attract more American filmmakers to the country.
This movie was banned in Finland because censors there thought it would "jeopardize relations with foreign countries", meaning the Soviet bloc. It was also banned in New Delhi, India, reportedly at the insistence of the Soviet embassy there.
