Argentinian actor and singer Dick Haymes was announced as the film's star in June 1951. By November, the role had been assigned to Robert Sterling and then finally to John Boles, who had not appeared in a feature film since Thousands Cheer in 1943.
Filming began in Barcelona, Spain in December 1951.
Paulette Goddard's contract awarded her a percentage of the film's profits in addition to her salary.
The Motion Picture Association of America repeatedly warned the producers that the film would be denied approval under the Motion Picture Production Code if Gypsy Rose Lee, famous as a stripper, removed any clothing during the film.
