Short description
Anna Kalman is a celebrated stage actress who has come to accept that she may never find the right man. When she meets Philip Adams, an elegant diplomat, the two are drawn to each other at once. Philip tells her he is married and that his wife will not agree to a divorce, and Anna begins a romance with him despite that obstacle. What she eventually learns about his story changes how she sees the relationship, and she sets out to respond to the deception in her own way.
Stanley Donen directed the film, the seventh of the sixteen features credited to him in chronological order, arriving between The Pajama Game and Charade. Norman Krasna wrote the screenplay. Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman lead as Philip and Anna, with Cecil Parker, Phyllis Calvert, David Kossoff and Megs Jenkins in supporting roles. The production was a British and American co-production from Warner Bros. Pictures and Grandon Productions Ltd., running 100 minutes.
On TMDB the film holds a rating of 6.6 out of 10 from 207 votes, while a film critics' rating stands at 7.3 out of 10 from 21 reviews, so critics rated it more warmly than the audience tally suggests.
What's left behind the scenes
- Censors began to object to the scene with Cary Grant (1904-1986) and Ingrid Bergman (1915-1982) in bed, and director Stanley Donen filmed the actors separately, splitting the screen and leaving a clearly visible 'border' between them.
- Cary Grant was taught to play snooker by Sydney Lee (1911-1988), one of the best British snooker players of the time. Grant was also taught to play the violin left-handed, and Ingrid Bergman was taught to dance the Highland Fling (one of the four oldest traditional Scottish dances).
- When director Stanley Donen (1924-2019) offered Cary Grant (1904-1986) a role in the film, he replied that he would only play if Ingrid Bergman (1915-1982) became his co-star. Bergman was at that time busy filming Mark Robson's (1913-1978) war drama 'The Inn of the Sixth Happiness' (1958) in the UK and performing on the Parisian stage, so it was decided to film this melodramatic comedy at Elstree Studios in London.
