Did you know

Ingmar Bergman didn't think very highly of this movie. In his book 'Images' (1990), he writes: "The company [Svensk Filmindustri] had bought a dusty old Danish comedy called 'The Return of Don Juan'. Dymling (Carl Anders Dymling, manager of Svensk Filmindustri at the time) and I entered into a shameful agreement. I wanted to make The Virgin Spring (1960), which he despised. He wanted me to make The Devil's Eye (1960), which I despised. We were both very content with the agreement and both felt they had fooled the other. In actual fact, I had only fooled myself"
