Trivia
Since Cecil B. DeMille's previous few films had been box office failures, he agreed to work on this project at a drastically lowered personal rate, and with a tighter budget than seemed reasonable at the time. Mitchell Leisen and production manager Roy Burns were the only frequent collaborators DeMille was allowed to keep on, and they also worked at reduced salaries. Paramount assigned Alexander Hall to edit the film, but DeMille was able to get him replaced by his regular editor, Anne Bauchens.
Fredric March said of co-star Claudette Colbert, "She was a hot woman in [the film]--a hot, hot woman! When she worked herself up, she put [Marilyn Monroe, [Jean Harlow], [Ava Gardner], [Kim Novak], all of them in the shade."
Paramount Pictures still had costumes from Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments (1923), and he was offered the chance to use them, along with standing sets, free of charge to keep production costs down.
In the Coliseum, we see a woman tied up and is at the mercy of a gorilla. Europeans had no knowledge of gorillas' existence until more than 15 centuries later.
When the boxers are fighting with the spiked gloves, the loser gets punched in the face. He is shown with scars on his face and spits blood onto his chest. In the next shot (from a slightly different angle) the scars are there but the blood on his chest is gone.
A gorilla is seen menacing a chained Christian woman in the arena but in reality gorilla's where not seen until 1856-59 when explorer Paul Du Chaillu became the first westerner to see a live gorilla during his travel through western equatorial Africa .
