Did you know

The film's portrayal of the Prince Regent's immorality and excesses caused censorship problems in the US. It was cut to 91 minutes and the prints were adjusted to darken the over-exposure of women's breasts in Regency costume.

The source play: "The First Gentleman", had played the West End in 1945-46, with Robert Morley as the Prince Regent, Wendy Hiller as Princess Charlotte, and Philip Friend as Leopold.

Melissa Stribling's debut.
