| Trivia | Prologue: "Joan of Arc died on May 30, 1431. She has no tomb and we have no portrait of her. But we have something better than a portrait: Her words to her judges at Rouen. I used the authentic texts of her condemnation. At the end, I used statements from her rehabilitation trial 25 years later. When the film begins, Joan has been in prison for several months at a castle in Rouen. Captured at Compiègne by traitorous French soldiers, she was sold to the English for a very high price. Her tribunal was composed exclusively of anglophiles from the University of Paris, led by Bishop Cauchon." See more » |
| Goofs | Although the story takes place in 1431, Jeanne's hairstyle is strictly a popular mode of the early 1960s. This is not a "goof" but an intention on the director's part to help young people identify with the character. See more » |
