"The Little Hut" is a 1957 comedy film made by MGM. It was directed by Mark Robson, produced by Mark Robson and F. Hugh Herbert, from a screenplay by F. Hugh Herbert, adapted by Nancy Mitford from the play "La petite hutte" by André Roussin. The cinematography was by Freddie Young and costume design by Christian Dior.

The script of "The Little Hut" was written by the French writer André Roussin, based on his own play "La petite hutte" (1947). Both play and script are a plagiarism of another play in Catalan,Fact|date=May 2008 written by the novelist and playwright Carles Soldevila (1892-1967): "Civilitzats tanmateix" ("Nevertheless civilized") (1921). This play was known in France through a translation by Adolphe de Faigairolle and Francesc Presas, published in 1927 in the magazine "Candide".

The film starred Ava Gardner, Stewart Granger and David Niven, with Walter Chiari and Finlay Currie. It was shot at the Cinecittà Studios in Rome.

Plot

Sir Philip Ashlow (Stewart Granger), his neglected wife, Lady Ashlow (Ava Gardner) and his best friend Henry Brittingham-Brett (David Niven) are shipwrecked on a desert island. This potential "ménage à trois" where the two men compete for the lady's attention is interrupted by the unexpected arrival of a fourth inhabitant of the island.
