The screenplay by Wilder and I. A. L. Diamond is based on the play L'ora della fantasia (The Dazzling Hour) by Anna Bonacci, which had inspired Wife for a Night (Moglie per una notte, 1952), an Italian film starring Gina Lollobrigida. The comic song lyrics were written by Ira Gershwin, using some of George Gershwin's unpublished melodies.
The supporting cast features Felicia Farr and comedy actors Cliff Osmond, Howard McNear, Cliff Norton, Mel Blanc and Henry Gibson.
