Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Peter Ustinov directed himself as Prince Otto while also managing Loren and Newman, who reportedly barely tolerated each other on set.
This was Loren and Newman's only pairing—two massive stars with zero chemistry, which somehow works for characters who use each other.
