Casting
This was Kim Novak's departure film for three years; she didn't return to the motion picture screen until 1968; when she played three different characters in The Legend of Lylah Clare. Novak married her co-star Richard Johnson in March 1965. The lead role was originally considered for Diane Cilento who had gathered critical acclaim from her role in Tom Jones but she had other commitments.3 Had she appeared in the film Sean Connery would have played the male lead.
Plot
A bawdy story of how a poor damsel surrenders her virtue again and again to get to the top of society.
