Originally, Luchino Visconti wanted to cast Ingrid Bergman and Marlon Brando in the lead roles, but was refused by the producers.
The film is based on the eponymous novella by Camillo Boito.
During the making of the film, the talented cinematographer Aldo Grazati died in a car accident.
The director's cut of the film ended with the Countess aimlessly wandering the streets of Verona, where she is harassed by drunken soldiers. At the insistence of the Italian authorities, a more uplifting and patriotic ending was filmed.
Outside of Italy, the film was shown in heavily cut versions, with the British version titled “The Wanton Contessa.” The dialogue for the English-language version was written by Tennessee Williams and Paul Bowles.
Over time, the original Technicolor print faded significantly, making the film a rarity known to relatively few cinephiles. Archivists in Bologna worked to restore it. A version with restored colors was released on DVD by Criterion in 2011.
Luchino Visconti gave the main character the name of his favorite composer.
