SMOKE SCREENS:
- San Juan Batista, the Spanish mission that features in key scenes in the movie doesn't actually have a bell tower - it was added with trick photography.
- The zoom out/track in shots were done with miniatures laid on their sides, since it was impossible to do them vertically.
- Death imitates life, as in Maeterlinck’s Bruges le mort.
