Trivia and QuotesQuotes [first lines]
Marquis Don Luis: I dare say you wish you`d never left Versailles. You had a very pleasant time at court with those gallant young officers. With one in particular, I recall. [first title card]
Title Card: Those who are destined to live during times of war and social upheaval are victims of cruel fate ~~ unable to find comfort in the past or peace in the present. They are the spiritual orphans of the world. John Bonnyfeather: Sometimes the great house of Bonnyfeather becomes too heavy a burden for one man`s shoulders.Trivia The opera being performed in Paris, "The Duchess of Ferrara", is not a real opera; the poster outside identifies the composer as Aldo Franchetti, who plays the conductor in the opera scene. William Dieterle had been promised the directing job, which instead went to Mervyn LeRoy (Harry M. Warner`s son-in-law). The film required 131 sets, including a 12-acre African compound built on the studio backlot - the largest set which had ever been constructed. Humphrey Bogart tested for the role of Napoleon; Bette Davis and Kitty Carlisle were among the many others who auditioned for roles. Warner Bros. paid $40,000 for the screen rights to the 1200-page novel. The miniatures that Fred Jackman built for the Port Royal set in Captain Blood (1935) were reused in this movie. Milton Krims wanted onscreen credit for his work on the screenplay, but the studio denied his request. Film debut of Gale Sondergaard, who won a "Best Supporting Actress" Academy Award (which was a new category). | ||
