Trivia
Director Cecil B. DeMille used the same sets from The Lives of a Bengal Lancer in this film. See more »Goofs
Anachronisms: The scene in Marseilles showing a siege engine being moved through the town is complete fabrication. Siege engines were disassembled for easier transport, or built at the siege site. See more »Quotes
