The story was originally optioned by Frank Capra in 1947, who had hoped to cast Cary Grant and Shirley Temple in what would amount to being a variation on his Oscar-winning classic, Accadde una notte (1934). However, Capra's Liberty Films production company was beset with financial problems, and he was forced to sell his production company, including the property to Paramount, where a combination of political timidity, as Capra discovered the involvement of blacklisted writer Dalton Trumbo, and a tight budget prompted him to withdraw from the project. William Wyler, however, had no compunctions whatsoever about working with Trumbo.
