Did You Know?
| Trivia | In 1976, several of the (by then quite elderly) costumes from this movie were rented for the Doctor Who (1963) story "The Masque of Mandragora", to the slight disappointment of Costume Designer James Acheson, who had been expecting to hire Danilo Donati's designs from Romeo and Juliet (1968), and who only discovered the mistake on visiting the costume house in Rome.
