Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

This was Fernando Lamas's first starring role in an American film after MGM signed him away from Argentine cinema.

Cultural

The film sanitizes plantation labor conditions to an almost comical degree—1953 audiences apparently needed their historical fiction sugar-coated.
