Midway through production the film ran out of money and DeMille's original backers pulled out. The production was saved when DeMille called in a personal favor from his friend A.P. Giannini, one of the founders of Bank of America. Giannini's $500,000 investment allowed the production to continue without stopping.
Julia Faye, who plays the Pharaoh's wife, also played Elisheba, Aaron's wife, in Cecil B. DeMille's 1956 remake of The Ten Commandments.
During one day of the filming of the Exodus scenes, about sixty bit players were injured in chariot crashes. Most went right back to work after getting bandaged up.
Most of the chariot crashes in the prologue were real and unplanned.
Contains a few early two-strip Technicolor scenes, in particular the "Exodus" segment.
