Trivia:
Because the film shows many of Maximilian's generals to be Mexican, many viewers attribute it to typical Hollywood historical distortions. It is, however, indeed accurate. It's a little-known fact that, although Maximilian was eventually overthrown and executed by Mexican revolutionaries, there were actually more Mexicans fighting on Maximilian's side than against him. This was due in large part to the Catholic Church's strong support of the French occupation of Mexico and its "encouraging" Mexican Catholics to fight against the revolutionary forces by joining Maximilian's army, which they did in large numbers. more

This movie started out pretty bad, but it got better as it went along. The thing i liked about it most was the fact that you hardly got to know Paul Muni's character and spent more time Brian Aherne's character. Claude Rains and John Garfield are hardly even seen expect for a couple of scenes. Paul Muni wasn't very good, just like in The Life of Emile Zola, Bette Davis is good.
