!!This film provides examples of:
* AdaptationalNameChange: John Howard Spring from the book becomes Damon Vincenti in the film.
* AdaptationalNationality: In the book in which the film was based, the male protagonist was a fully American named John Howard Spring. In the film, he's an Italian-American (just like his actor, Mario Lanza), named Damon Vincenti.
* BettyAndVeronica: In a twist of the SpicyLatina trope, Juana is the sweet and reliable one (the Betty) to Kendall's more aloof and icy one (the Veronica).
* {{Bowdlerise}}: The movie differs greatly from the James M. Cain source novel. In the book, the protagonist fled the United States to Mexico in a crisis of confidence after being sleeping with a ''male'' socialite and impresario. Details are vague, but given the way his reactions to it are depicted, having actually being ''raped'' could be a possibility. Juana Montes is a Mexican prostitute who, after hearing his story, thinks he's gay and therefore a trouble-free partner to open a brothel with, before he recovers his confidence after having sex with her in a deserted church. As none of this material could be considered suitable for an American movie in 1956, the story's male impresario becomes female and the Mexican prostitute becomes a Mexican bullfighter's daughter instead.
* GenderFlip: The role of the homosexual male impresario from the book is taken in the film by a female high society hostess.
* NonActorVehicle: A starring vechicle for tenor Mario Lanza.
