Synopsis

Kay Stanton (Jean Seberg) lives on the French Riviera with her psychiatrist husband Neil Stanton (Arthur Hill) and son Tommy (Peter Robbins). One day while Neil is away, Kay meets an American naval ensign, Mark (Sean Garrison), and they begin an affair. Kay realises she does love her husband and tries to break off the relationship. She and Mark argue, and Kay accidentally shoots him. With the help of her friend Daphne (Honor Blackman), she dumps his body into a ravine, then calls the police anonymously to tell them of its location.

Later, Neil gets a request from the police to help an amnesiac victim recovering from a gunshot wound; the man is Mark. Mark manages to regain his memory but does not betray Kay. Neil realises the truth as well, but is certain that his wife really loves him.

  • Production

    The film was based on a story by Alec Coppel which had been purchased by Mervyn Le Roy. Le Roy described the film as a "woman's picture".

    Le Roy had trouble finding someone to play the leads because "it's so hard to find actresses who really look like ladies". Candidates were Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Julie Andrews and Jean Seberg. The latter was selected; it was her first Hollywood movie in a number of years.

    Honor Blackman was cast on the basis of her success in Goldfinger. "If I'm ever to make an international name, now is the time to cash in on it," said Blackman. Arthur Hill was coming off Broadway success in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?. Sean Harrison had just toured around the US in a production of Camelot and signed long term contracts with Le Roy and Universal. ("There are few young men who really look manly," said Le Roy).

    Shooting took place on location in the South of France, in Nice, Mougins, Cannes and St Pauls, and on Universal's backlot. Costumes were provided by Yves St Laurent.

    The title tune was written by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer.
