Did You Know?
| Trivia | When shooting the snake shot a real trained cobra was used. Miss Lamour explained how terrified she was especially when they had to repeat the scene because in the first take the snake began to change its skin. She had a bad time too when riding elephants and recalls only female elephants were used due to males' toughness (a similar thing happened in most of her jungle movies with monkeys so they ended using female monkeys only).
