Bette Davis made a guest appearance as Empress Catherine the Great. In his review of the film for the New York Times, Bosley Crowther observes "Stack performs the knotty little Scotsman as though he were a slightly dull but talkative member of a conservative gentleman's club". John Paul Jones, bassist for English rock band Led Zeppelin, took this stage name at the suggestion of a friend, Andrew Loog Oldham, who had seen the film's poster (his birth name was John Baldwin). LESS
