Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Elisabeth Bergner, playing Strogoff's mother, was a 1930s Berlin stage legend who fled Nazi Germany; this was her late-career Euro-exploitation phase.
Director Eriprando Visconti was cousin to Luchino but never escaped the comparison; this film's messy grandeur is peak 'not quite the other Visconti' energy.
