Trivia Directorial debut of William Witney. NOTE: The original director was Ray Taylor, but when he fell far behind schedule--crew members interviewed years later said that he often showed up for work drunk or began drinking early on the set, which was why production fell behind so much--he was removed and Witney, who was an assistant director, was told by the studio to finish the picture.

Goofs The "mule" Roberto, introduced in Chapter Seven, is actually a small horse which has been made up to look like a mule. I know modern mules have long tail hair, but this movie is set at a time before they were even bred, and the word "mule" meant the same thing as "donkey." Even its braying is fake and has been dubbed. See more »
