    Plot: Alexander Kordas bit for the British war effort shows the world both at peace and on the verge of Nazi domination. Spliced together to form a documentary style film of both newsreel and acting. This first of its kind in propaganda films of World War II, shows the might of the English Empire and its eagerness to stand up to the oppressors of morality and free will. Crude but effective propaganda cinema that sets the tone for things to come. With its stiff upper lip attitude that pays tribute to the nations prides and shows the black plague of Nationalism spreading across Europe that England shall be motivated, ready and willing to retaliate.

    Crazy Credits: We know about 1 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
    The producer expresses his gratitude for the co-operation which he received from the cast, production personnel, newsreel companies, the General Post Office and other documentary film units during the making of this picture.

    Goofs: We know about 1 goofs. Here comes one of them:
    Factual errors: The section of the film detailing Germanys prewar conquests contains several errors. The narrator states that Germany occupied the Rhineland in March, 1934. In fact, it was in 1936. Immediately after, a map inaccurately depicts the dismembering of Czechoslovakia in October 1938 and March 1939. The 1938 map depicts Germany annexing the Sudetenland, which is somewhat incorrectly drawn upon the map, but neither it nor the narration shows Hungary annexing the southern portion of Czechoslovakia, nor Poland taking the Teschen district in the center north of the country, both of which occurred simultaneously with Germanys occupation of the Sudetenland. (The narrator also speaks of the Sudetenland going \”back\” to Germany, though in fact it had never been part of Germany.) When the final dismemberment of Czechoslovakia in March 1939 is depicted, Germany is shown annexing outright not only the western Czech lands of Bohemia and Moravia (which it did annex), but the center of the country as well; meanwhile, the extreme eastern end of the country is labeled \”Slovakia\”, the nominally independent satellite state recognized by Germany. In fact, Slovakia was located in the center of the country, in areas inaccurately depicted as annexed to Germany; the eastern portion labeled \”Slovakia\” in the film is in fact an area then known as the Carpatho-Ukraine, which was annexed by Hungary the day after Germany occupied the Czech lands in the west (and is today part of Ukraine).

    Trivia: There are 1 entries in the trivia list – like these:

    • Because it was started and completed so soon after the declaration of war and was seen to show how useful films could be in wartime, this film is considered to have done a lot towards allowing the British film industry to remain active throughout WWII, unlike in WWI when all cinemas were closed and filming effectively stopped for the duration.

    Plot: The newly named emperor Maximilian and his wife Carolotta arrive in Mexico to face popular sentiment favoring Benito Juraez and democracy. He tries to appease the Mexicans but fails. Abraham Lincoln is supporting Juarez and asks the French to withdraw support for Maximilian. Carlotta goes to France to plead with Napoleon, to no avail.

    Crazy Credits: We know about 2 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
    The original showing of the pilot episode had a different beginning, not revealing the transforming capabilities of the Valkyries in order to give the audience a suprise. The opening was changed to the regular one for all further showings.

    Goofs: We know about 8 goofs. Here comes one of them:
    Audio/visual unsynchronized: After Eegah is first discovered, Roxys father begins to walk off screen but yells \”Watch out for snakes\” without his lips moving.

    Trivia: There are 3 entries in the trivia list – like these:

    • Orry-Kelly designed costumes for Bette Davis which changed in tone as the film progressed: from white at the beginning, changing to gray in mid-film, and then to black at the end when she goes insane.
    • Extensive research was done to provide accuracy. The writers had a bibliography of 372 books. Art director Anton Grot made 3643 sketches from which 7360 blueprints were prepared for exterior and interior settings. A complete Mexican village was built on the Warner ranch. An English version of Franz Werfels play opened in New York City on 11 October 1926 and had 48 performances. The cast included Alfred Lunt and Edward G. Robinson.
    • Because the film shows many of Maximilians generals to be Mexican, many viewers attribute it to typical Hollywood historical distortions. It is, however, indeed accurate. Its a little-known fact that, although Maximilian was eventually overthrown and executed by Mexican revolutionaries, there were actually more Mexicans fighting on Maximilians side than against him. This was due in large part to the Catholic Churchs strong support of the French occupation of Mexico and its \”encouraging\” Mexican Catholics to fight against the revolutionary forces by joining Maximilians army, which they did in large numbers.
