    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      As a tribute to leading lady Cyd Charisse's versatility, she filmed this farcical comedy back-to-back with "Black Tights" (1961), an all-dance picture, and the melodrama "Two Weeks in Another Town" (1962), in which she memorably portrayed the hedonistic Carlotta.
    • Goofs
      When Aldo drives up to Sandra's house in the evening for dinner, it's obvious that studio lights are being used to greatly supplement the headlights on his car. They stop moving before his car does, and they go out before he turns off his car's headlights.
    • Quotes
      • Gabrielle: Ah, that Roberto. But why did he have to cheat?
      • Raphael: Debts! More than 160 million lire. And he figured that by gambling with our money he could pay off his debts and us. But... everthing just went pffff!
      • Gabrielle: And that's when he went... over the cliff?
      • Raphael: Oh, no. No. He told Sandra about his predicament and she, nice girl that she is, gave him all her jewellery but that went pffff in the same way.
      • Gabrielle: Well, it was decent of Sandra to have given him all her jewellery...
      • Raphael: As matters now stand, you'll get back about 2 million lire. We've attached the house.
      • Gabrielle: Is that so?
      • Raphael: We've given Sandra about six weeks to pay back the money and if she can't, well, pffff goes the house, everything in it.
      • Gabrielle: But I still pity Sandra.
      • Raphael: Oh, you do, do you?
      • Gabrielle: woman without a house can still live in a hotel--but, a woman without her jewellery... how does she pay for the room?
    • Alternate versions
      A version was also filmed in Italian titled "Cinque ore in contanti" for the Italian market, with some of the smaller roles taken by Italian actors.
