Trivia:

The filmmakers got footage of King Victor Emmanuel III and Benito Mussolini reviewing troops. This was not newsreel footage, and both knew they were being filmed for this movie, which was being shot in and around Rome. The king even visited the film's set later on and met star Barbara La Marr.
