Did You Know?
| Trivia | Actor Paolo Stoppa, who plays Pope Pio VII in this movie, has the unusual record of having played the role of a Pope no less than four times in his career, including Saint Peter in Nerone (1977), Alexander III in Becket (1964) and an unnamed Pope in Jus primae noctis (1972). See more » |
| Goofs | The Marquis Onofrio Del Grillo is in a bedroom with the beautiful French opera singer Olympia, played by Caroline Berg: she, completely naked, goes to the basin to wash herself and then turns her back showing the marks of the bikini on her tanned skin. Considering the historical period (1800 in Papal Rome), no woman in Europe knew and used a bikini. See more » |
