The Seventh Sin is a 1957 American drama film directed by Ronald Neame and starring Eleanor Parker, Bill Travers and George Sanders. It is based on the 1925 novel The Painted Veil by W. Somerset Maugham.

Production

The film was announced as a vehicle for Ava Gardner.

Producer David Lewis felt the story "needed modernizing and a fresh approach" and had a script done by Arthur Laurents. However the produced claimed director Ronald "Neame, with the backing of Thau, had rejected Arthur Laurents’ script to return to the old hat of Maugham, and Karl Tunberg was assigned to do a rewrite. The whole project was pedestrian and Neame, I thought, was doing a very bad job.

Filing started 29 October 1956. Neame left the film during production, and Vincente Minnelli took over and was uncredited. Lewis said that he was kicked off the film and Sidney Franklin replaced him.
