What's left behind the scenes

  • It took three years to create the film. To pay the bills, Orson Welles (1915-1985) appeared in supporting roles in other films, notably in Henry Hathaway's (1898-1985) melodrama 'The Black Rose' (1950). During filming with Hathaway, he regularly pilfered costumes and equipment from the set for use in his own film, which greatly irritated the director.
  • The murder of Rodrigo in the Turkish baths was shown this way because the costumes prepared for filming were confiscated due to debts.
  • In 1992, Wells' daughter Beatrice spent over $1 million restoring the film. The picture quality was improved, the sound was re-recorded, and new sound effects were added.
