Facts from Star!
Peter Cook and Robert Stephens were in the running for Noel Coward (Daniel Massey).
The origins of this project date back to 1955, as a musical/drama vehicle produced by Warner Brothers for Judy Garland, and as a follow-up to her triumph in A Star Is Born. After Garland lost the Academy Award for Best Actress that year, all future projects between Transcona Productions (the production company set up by Garland and her husband Sidney Luft) were abandoned and her 3 picture contract canceled.
Beatrice Lillie was a friend of Gertrude Lawrence but her role was written out of the screenplay after she refused to let anyone play her role but herself (she was 73 at the time).
Ballard Berkeley is credited by several sources as having been in the movie, but does not actually appear.
