Ray Milland returned to the theater for the first time in many years when he starred in Jack Roffey's play on Broadway (where it was as big a success as it had been in London). Milland enjoyed his experience so much that he determined to make a film of it, with himself directing. However, the film was a big flop; although made in 1968, it got no British release until 1970, when it was critically derided.
Percy Marmont's final film.
The Broadway play of the same title upon which this film is based opened at the Music Box Theatre, 239 W. 45th St., on February 17, 1966 and ran for 156 performances until July 2, 1966.
