This film lost more money for MGM than any other of its films during the period from 1920 to 1949.
The lavish ballroom set where Napoleon dances with Marie Walewska is actually identical to that used in Maytime (1937) - the Jeanette McDonald /Nelson Eddy operetta. It has simply been redressed and given a different floor covering and shot from a different angle.

"Countess Pelagia Walewska: Who are you? Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte: I am Napoleon! Countess Pelagia Walewska: Napoleon? Napoleon who? Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte: Hmm? Bonaparte! Countess Pelagia Walewska: Napoleon Bonaparte? What kind of name is that? What nationality are you? Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte: Corsican by birth. French by adoption. Emperor by achievement. Countess Pelagia Walewska: So, you are an Emperor, are you? What are you Emperor of? Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte: Emperor of France, madame. Countess Pelagia Walewska: Hee, hee, hee. So you are Emperor of France. And my very good friend, His Majesty, King Louis Sixteenth abdicated in your honor, I suppose? Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte: Well, he didn't know it at the time but in a sense he did, madame. Countess Pelagia Walewska: This house is getting to be a lunatic asylum."
"Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte: I must get to know the Poles better!"
