Did You Know?

Trivia After filming wrapped, David Niven sued Paramount Pictures and producer David Merrick. Reportedly, this was Niven's first lawsuit in 46 years of working in the film industry. He sued for $1.8 million, claiming he was underpaid in salary and was owed $91,667 since he worked longer than the five weeks he was contracted for and was not billed correctly in the movie's advertising, thereby breaching his contract because an image of himself was not used in promotional material alongside co-stars Burt Reynolds and Lesley-Anne Down. The original American theatrical movie poster does not feature a photograph of Niven but the British poster did, released there later. See more »
