Quotes from

Duke de Lorca: You can see we have several interesting devices in this chamber. They have the tendency to break a man's will. If the first one fails, we try another until we find exactly the right one to loosen the tongue.
Count de Polan: I've heard of men whose tongues have withstood it.
Duke de Lorca: Yes, but they now speak with the tongues of angels.


Duke de Lorca: [preparing to fight Don Juan] I warned you, senor! This time I shall cut deeply!

Facts about

Frederick Faust (Max Brand) and William Faulkner both worked on early versions of the script.
Finnish censorship visa # 030459.
With the failure of Errol Flynn's non-action films Escape Me Never and Never Say Goodbye, Warners producer Jerry Wald argued that the star should return to a large-scale swashbuckler, especially after Captain Blood, The Sea Hawk and The Adventures of Robin Hood had enjoyed recent successful theatrical revivals. Unfortunately for Flynn, this film continued his string of critical and financial flops, and the budgets of subsequent Flynn films were reduced considerably.
