Did you know
• As a tribute to leading lady Cyd Charisse's versatility, she filmed this farcical comedy back-to-back with "Black Tights" (1961), an all-dance picture, and the melodrama "Two Weeks in Another Town" (1962), in which she memorably portrayed the hedonistic Carlotta.
• The 60,000,000 lire Sandra has to raise would equal about $96,600 at the time or $816,000 in 2019.
• George Sanders does not appear until more than 60 minutes into this 90-minute film.
