    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Charles Vidor had completed about 15 percent of this movie when he died of a heart attack on June 4, 1959. Sir Dirk Bogarde later recalled that he was "secretly relieved" by Vidor's death, since he and his co-star, Capucine had been treated badly by the short-tempered director. Vidor would often scream at Capucine to relax, and at one point, Bogarde recalled, "shook her like a dead cat." Vidor was replaced by George Cukor, who got along much better with his stars, and was more of an "actor's director."
    • Goofs
      Grand Duchess make reference to "Ukraine" in one scene. The term was not in wide use in the 1840s, especially not among Russian nobility.
    • Quotes
      • Countess Marie: I met Franz at a musical party. I remember he played a ballade in A-flat major by Chopin. I thought I'd never seen anything as beautiful as Franz looked when he sat at the piano. I... I wanted to cry. He watched me as he played; Franz never fails to notice a pretty woman in his audience. Afterward, he followed me into the hall. I remember he said, "May I escort you somewhere, madame?" And I said, "Yes." And he said, "Where?" And I said, "Paradise." He didn't smile - he said, "I'll call a carriage."
      • Princess Carolyne: Did he?
      • Countess Marie: What?
      • Princess Carolyne: Drive you there - to paradise?
      • Countess Marie: [a pause, and a meaningful look as she turns to leave the room] He doesn't know the road, madame.
