Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaCary Grant had sworn never to make another historical film after The Howards of Virginia (1940) failed both critically and with audiences. He made an exception for this film, which ultimately failed to make a profit, though in this case, his performance was admired by audiences.
- GoofsJuana refers to Anthony as "Duke of Wellington." This is in 1810. Sir Arthur Wellesley was elevated to the Peerage after the Battle of Talavera and to a Dukedom in 1814. In 1810, he was still Sir Arthur. The post of Duke of Wellington did not exist.
- Quotes
General Jouvet: How these Spanish love their moment of truth - to drench the ground with their blood - to die. Why?
Sermaine: Probably because it is their ground, General.
- Crazy creditsPROLOGUE: "It is 1810...the French legions of Napoleon smash across Spain. Crushed and bleeding...the Spanish army retreats into the darkest page of a nation's history..."

Featured review
One of the better epic films of this era.
It is likely that anyone having negative comments on this film are in the younger generation and have been spoiled by special effects modern movies. This movie is historical in nature and very entertaining with very good acting jobs by all involved. Some of the action scenes rival anything made in the adventure films out now. The sub-plot involving the three way love triangle just makes the rest of the story that much more interesting.
