Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film bombed at the box office, not even making back its negative cost, resulting in a loss to MGM of $1,356,000 according to studio records.
- GoofsEven though the story takes place in 1944, once again MGM's indefatigably anachronistic designer, Helen Rose has clothed all the female participants in totally contemporary 1956 designs and fashions.
- Quotes
Gaby: Do you have a conscience?
Mrs. Helen Carrington: I keep that to myself, too.
Gaby: You hide the truth from the people you love?
Mrs. Helen Carrington: Yes. And I think that's why they love me. Oh, Gaby, anybody can tell the truth. It's a lot harder to be kind and tactful and considerate.

Featured review
remake of Waterloo Bridge
All and all this is not a bad movie, and Leslie Caron is truly one of those actresses whom you just can't help falling in love with, she has that magical presence that is the mark of a great actress, and even thou it's not one of her best her performance, her performance in this movie is definitely impeccable, but still this movie it's essentially a lightweight remake of the three times before filmed Waterloo Bridge, so even thou Leslie Caron is as always charming, I suggest a peek at Vivien Leigh as the delicate dancer Myra and Robert Taylor as Col./Capt. Roy Cronin in the 1940 release of Waterloo Bridge, a movie that is (even thou slightly forgotten) undoubtedly one of the best romantic movies ever made.
