Cast

Production

In 1963, Nancy Kwan's long hair, famous from The World of Suzie Wong, was chopped into a sharp modernist bob by Vidal Sassoon for the film The Wild Affair, at the request of director John Krish. The image of her new hairstyle was published in the October editions of both American and British Vogue. Vidal's new hairstyle was previously called the Mary Quant cut, as it had first featured in her fashion show, but became known as the Nancy Kwan cut.

Reception

One reviewer deemed the film "more silly than sexy", while another thought that Nancy Kwan was miscast.
