...according to his lights, left the youngsters plenty to work with. They had a $6,000,000 production nut to crack, along with "a million-two" ($1,200,000) set aside for promotion. They had Vista-Vision, Technicolor, five big stars (Charles Boyer, Charlton Heston, Claire Bloom, Inger Stevens and the berugged Brynner), 55 featured players, 100 bit-players, 12,000 calls for extras, 60,000 props-including 15 authentic pirogues, $100,000 worth of genuine antique furniture and two boxcarloads of Spanish moss and cypress trees.

They gave it some of the smoothest Technicolor that has ever creamed a moviegoer's eyeballs; but then, gripped by the fear that all this would be too subtle, they decided to smear "mood" all over the big scenes by shooting them through filters.
