Ken Russell plays a director in the film. In his autobiography he explains that the actor who was to play the director was too drunk to work and so Russell played the part himself. Later the actor--who was too drunk to work--filed a complaint and the actors union insisted the scene be re-shot with a "real" actor and union member. This would have been very expensive as the scene involved a battle sequence--but it turned out that Russell who had started as an actor years before he was a director still had an acting union membership--so he was able to pay up his past dues and the scene remained in the film. Russell went to in the later part of his career to play parts in various films for himself and for others.
Romantic lead co-stars Rudolf Nureyev and Michelle Phillips got along so poorly during the making of this film that they were reported to have engaged in an on-set slapping match during shooting of the love scenes.
A major piece of advertising art (a shot of Rudolf Nureyev embracing Michelle Phillips) had to be retouched in mid-campaign after someone noticed he was wearing a trendy Seventies tank watch that didn't exist in the Twenties - a mistake clumsily corrected by airbrushing out the chunk of his wrist bearing anachronistic timepiece.
Reportedly, the film's director Ken Russell walked out of a revival screening of this movie saying: "What idiot made this?".
Rudolph Valentino's real full name was "Rodolfo Alfonso Raffaello Pierre Filibert Guglielmi di Valentina d'Antonguolla".
"Hooker: Oh, hi! George Ullman: Oh, Christ. Hooker: Wanna have a good time? Rudolph Valentino: Which one? Hooker: Oh-oh, I can handle two at once. I got the sockets if you got the plugs."
"Rudolph Valentino: I was giving a private lesson, Miss Billie. Billie Streeter: You give too many private lessons. Lay off the de Saulles dame. Circulate more, baby. Give some of the older broads a whirl. They tip better."
