It featured an early performance by Audrey Hepburn playing a spoiled actress. Most Hepburn biographies{{Vague|date=February 2023}} indicate that it was during the filming of this film that Hepburn was first discovered by the playwright Colette and chosen for the lead role in the play ''Gigi'', which would lead to Hepburn launching her acting career in Hollywood (though see ''Secret People (film)'' for an alternative account that suggests she was discovered by a film producer via that movie). In any event, this was the last movie Hepburn made before launching her Hollywood film career.
''Monte Carlo Baby'' was produced in the English language, while a second version of the film was made in French. Since Hepburn was fluent in French, she played the same role (although the character's name was changed). This version of the film was released in 1951 as ''Nous irons à Monte Carlo'' (''We're Going to Monte Carlo'').
