Did You Know?
Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993) once said that the scene in which her character stain the suit Alex ice cream, taken from real life. Once at the reception she accidentally spilled wine on the suit Cary Grant (1904-1986).
Initially Cary Grant had refused to star in the film. He felt that with his age (he was 59) he looks like a man, pursuing the heroine Audrey Hepburn, which is much younger than him. Screenplay by Peter stone announced the actor that will rewrite the script, after which the Grant has removed all objections. As it turned out, stone just "handed" everything is ambiguous replica of the character of the heroine, Grant Hepburn.
The young man in the Elevator in the Embassy building that speaks of poker, this screenplay by Peter stone, on which it imposed the voice of Director Stanley Donen.
When the heroine is Audrey Hepburn Smoking a cigarette in the empty apartment, there comes the character played by Cary Grant. In this stage, the tips of the ears of the actor stuck to head with tape, as located behind the soffits they literally glowed red and conspicuous.

The film shows the copy is really very rare, and therefore valuable brands.
When the heroine Audrey Hepburn is in a nightclub, in the background you can see the then husband of actress Mel Ferrer (1917-2008), who smokes a cigarette.
