Trivia: As was custom with a lot of films at the time, this movie makes some extensive use of rear-projection. Several scenes were shot in a studio but used filmed or still backgrounds to make it appear like they were shot on location. A lot of the scenes that take place while characters are on a horse-drawn carriage use the technique, except the shots behind the characters are moving. The biggest use of rear projection is during the horse race on the beach.
