Norman Krasna adapted his own 1953 play for the screen, shifting the location from New York to London. It's apparently Cary Grant's favourite of all of his films (unsubstantiated) and he and Ingrid Bergman are jolly good (he was 54, in answer to my wife's question).
I love the fact there was so little traffic going through London Airport that you'd actually get to know the passport official. (Or is this just a film thing? Wikipedia tells me that passenger traffic for 1953 reached one million.)
And where's Cleopatra's needle?
Classy support from Phyllis Calvert, Cecil Parker, Megs Jenkins and David Kossof, shot by Freddie Young, edited by Jack Harris and scored by Richard Rodney Bennett.
