    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Although Rumer Godden had admired the earlier films made from her novels "Black Narcissus" and "The River", she was dissatisfied with this film, partly because the hotel was a grandiose chateau rather than the small French inn of her book, and partly because her title (retained for Britain) had been changed to "Loss Of Innocence" for the American market, and she found this new title vulgar.
