She explained that she "couldn't possibly play an Oriental. No one would believe me; they'd laugh. It's a lovely script, however I know what I can and can't do. And if you did persuade me, you would regret it, because I would be terrible." Marlon Brando was not the first choice for the lead role. It was offered firstly to both William Holden and Rock Hudson, respectively.
