What's left behind the scenes

Elizabeth Taylor (1932-2011) believed there had been some mistake in her casting as Rebecca. During filming, there were rumors that she might be replaced by Deborah Kerr (1921-2007), who, along with Robert Taylor (1911-1969), starred in the dramas of Merwyn LeRoy (1900-1987) and Anthony Mann (1906-1967) 'Quo Vadis?' (1951).
At the beginning of the film, there is a scene in which Robert Taylor’s character, Sir Wilfred, searches for King Richard I the Lionheart (1157-1199), having vowed not to stop singing until he finds him. Historically, this is accurate, except it wasn't him singing, but a minstrel named Blondel. When Richard I the Lionheart was captured by Leopold V (1157-1194), Blondel began to visit all the castles, singing Richard's favorite song. (According to some sources, Richard co-wrote it.) Hearing from one castle Richard singing along, he returned to the Normans and told them where to find Richard.
King Richard I the Lionheart was loved and revered in England, but in reality, he was French and barely spoke English. Out of ten years of ruling England, he spent no more than six months in England itself. All the rest of the time, Richard I the Lionheart spent at war, notably during the Third Crusade (1189-1192).
Screenwriter Marguerite Roberts (1905-1989) was a member of the American Communist Party. In 1951, she was summoned to testify before the (US House of Representatives) Committee to Investigate Un-American Activities. She and her husband, John Sanford (1904-2003), refused to name other members of the party and were blacklisted. After this, MGM received special permission from the Writers Guild to remove Roberts' name from the credits.
The film was initially conceived as an MGM project with Fredric March (1897-1957) as Sir Wilfred, Loretta Young (1913-2000) as Lady Rowena, and Gary Cooper (1901-1961) as King Richard I the Lionheart. After some changes of plans, it was decided to release the film in 1938 with Robert Taylor as Sir Wilfred, Myrna Loy (1905-1993) as Lady Rowena, and Clark Gable (1901-1960) as Richard I the Lionheart. Filming was planned in Britain, but the political situation in Europe, which ultimately escalated into World War II, led to the film being postponed. In 1946, Anniees McKenzie (1889-1962), the author of the final screenplay version, wrote a series of screenplays for Paramount Pictures recounting how Sir Wilfred returns from the crusade and collects a ransom to pay for the kidnapped Richard, but learns that Prince John (1166-1216) has usurped the throne in his absence.
