Quiz
First shot as a silent film (which exists), this was recast and re-shot as an all-talkie film. The silent version was released overseas and on a very limited basis domestically.

Blooper
The soldiers ask Marianne to imitate Maurice Chevalier, so she sings "Louise." That song was written in 1929, more than a decade after WWI ended.

Citazioni
Soapy: Can't you expectorate that man outta your mind?

Versioni alternative
Although two versions of this film were shot, a talkie and a silent, and both of them exist, there was also a third version that MGM used to show this film in Argentina. The majority of the footage was lifted from the silent version (with an added soundtrack with music and effects) and all of the songs from the sound version were also included.

Connessioni
Edited from La grande parata (1925)

Colonne sonore
La Marseillaise
(1792) (uncredited)
Written by Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle
Played after French mobilization for World War I

Perhaps not Marion's best - but definitely NOT Susan Alexander!

While Marianne is not Marion Davies' best effort, it does contain some delightful moments where she absolutely sparkles. Granted her accent isn't all it should be, but give her a break - it was, after all, her very first talkie and her main focus was on conquering her stammer.

I'm not one to normally write reviews, but I just had to remark upon a previous reviewer (niro's) comments. To say that Welles and Mankewicz got it "right" when they fashioned Susan Alexander after Marion is incorrect and just plain mean. Even Welles, in his foreword to Marion's memoir, apologized for making this parallel, saying "To Marion Davies (Susan Alexander) bears no resemblance at all." Reviewer niro also errs regarding the brilliant documentary "Captured on Film" - this outstanding film contains NO inconsequential interviews - with or without "fans". Furthermore, it isn't Joseph Cotten's character who searches to find the meaning of Rosebud, but an off-camera interviewer whom we never see. Tell me, niro, have you ever even seen Citizen Kane OR Marianne?
