Trivia
It was agreed Cary Grant would keep all of his clothes on when he took a shower, as he was nearly sixty and slightly overweight. However, they then decided the scene was funnier that way.

Goofs
The sign outside the embassy would not read "American Embassy." It would read "Embassy of the United States of America" or "Ambassade des États-Unis d'Amérique."

Quotes
Reggie Lampert: You're blocking my view.
Peter Joshua: Oh, uh, oh, uh, which view would you prefer?
Reggie Lampert: The one you're blocking.

Crazy credits
During the last scene, the screen splits into a checkerboard screens showing Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn's ending kiss along with Grant's funniest scenes from the movie and "The End".

Alternate versions
Some prints of the film omit the original music as it is not public domain, unlike the movie itself.

Grant and Hepburn in 1960s Paris

Seeing Cary Grand and Audrey Hepburn in 1960s Paris in the lush colour film of the time makes this film worth watching. The setting reminded me a lot of The Pink Panther, also made in 1963.

This, and the chemistry between the leading lady and man make up for a plot which I found contrived, and not particularly credible. The other characters are also not well developed and don't combine very well in the film

Imagine a more light-hearted and Paris-based version of to Catch a Thief, with the mysterious and cool Cary Grant once again beguiling a beautiful and wealthy young woman.
