Production

Produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company, Charles Dyer's play Staircase premiered on 2 November 1966. It was directed by Peter Hall and starred Paul Scofield and Patrick Magee. Stanley Donen had seen the play and reflected, "The material was superb, both the play and the screenplay.

Both actors refused to film in England in order to avoid paying a heavy percentage income tax. Meanwhile, Burton's wife Elizabeth Taylor had stipulated to have The Only Game in Town (1970) filmed in Paris so she would be in close proximity with him. The production sets for Staircase were filmed on sound stages at the Boulogne Studios in Paris.
