 Actor Milland, Ray (qv) was seriously injured while making this  film. Playing a cavalry officer, Milland was leading a "charge"  through a village. As they rounded a corner he saw that someone had  left a camera on a tripod in the middle of the street. There was no  time to try to pull around it or stop his horse, so Milland, an  experienced horseman, tried to get the horse to jump over it. The  horse cleared the camera, but the straps that held the saddle onto  the horse snapped. Milland was thrown from the saddle, bounced off  the wall of a building and landed in a pile of debris and broken  masonry. He was unconscious for almost 24 hours and was hospitalized  for two weeks.
