The cinematography as you would expect of a Jack Cardiff is excellent when it comes to exteriors but surprisingly bad when it comes studio work. Abysmal process work and even some fringing.

One of the problems with this film is that Trevor Howard is never got one minute believable as the husband of Capucine. His alchoholism was already taking a toll on his features. There was a 15 year she has which looked more like 25 years.

.When this filmwas shown at my local Odeon they got the reels out of order,but nobody noticed until the lights went up and the manager got up on stage to announce this and offer to return out money.
