A Breath of Scandal is a 1960 film adapted from Ferenc Molnar's stage play Olympia. It stars Sophia Loren, Maurice Chevalier, John Gavin and Angela Lansbury and was directed by Michael Curtiz. The film is set at the turn of the 20th century and features lush technicolor photography of Vienna and the countryside of Austria. The costumes were created by Ella Bei of the Knize fashion house in Austria. Due in part to Michael Curtiz's direction which Sophia Loren was at odds with, Italian director Vittorio De Sica was hired to reshoot certain scenes with Loren after hours without Curtiz's knowledge. It is a remake of the 1929 MGM film His Glorious Night, whose rights were bought by Paramount when this film was made. Coincidentally, years earlier, Paramount had sold one of their own films to MGM, the 1931 version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, when MGM did their own version (this film is now owned by Warner Bros./Turner Entertainment).
