Trivia The leopard Thomas Meighan is carrying in the movie was a real leopard. It had killed a man in a nearby zoo and was to be euthanized, but director Cecil B. De Mille refused to have it killed. The leopard was drugged with chloroform before it was let near the actor, who then did the scene carrying the animal on his shoulder. See more »
