Interesting facts

Twist of Fate is a 1954 British and American mystery film noir directed by David Miller and starring Ginger Rogers and Herbert Lom. It was written by Carl Nystrom and Robert Westerby from a story by David Miller and Alford Van Ronkel.

Production

The film was known during production as Lifeline. Walter Rilla was originally cast as the male lead but he and Rogers did not get along. Said Rilla at the time, "According to the script I – a man of 52 – am supposed to have an affair with a girl of 24, who is Miss Rogers. Which is somewhat ridiculous. She may feel 24, but really..." Rilla was really sixty, at the time, and Rogers was forty-three.

Rumours were rife about Rogers' temperament and Rilla's dissatisfaction with the size of his role in comparison to Jacques Bergerac, who was Rogers' husband at the time. Ten days into production Rilla left the film and was replaced by Stanley Baker.

Bergerac and Rogers met in France, and she was responsible for his casting.

Exteriors of the film were shot in Cannes.
