Movie Description A wealthy doctor's infatuation with a low-brow waitress threatens both his personal life and career. Though it shares the same title with W. Somerset Maugham's classic novel, it has little else in common with it.

Notes Shown at the 1964 Berlin Film Festival.
Henry Hathaway was the original director, but his abusive behavior to star Kim Novak cost him the job. At one point, he was so vitriolic that both screenwriter Bryan Forbes and actor Laurence Harvey walked off the set and refused to continue until he either apologized or was fired. In the interim, before Ken Hughes replaced Hathaway, Forbes directed some scenes, but received no credit.
