Several elaborate set pieces were used for this Mesoamerican epic, but the largest is the Aztec pyramid they constructed into the side of a hill at Inceville, in Santa Monica, CA.

According to John Gilbert, who was working in Hollywood as an extra at the time, it was constructed of wood layered over with paper, then textured with sand to give it the appearance of stonework.

Gilbert said that "the extras were thrown down the sides of the pyramid and a man stood at the bottom with a bucket of iodine and patched them up" to treat their sandpapered skin.

"[5] A staff writer for The New York Times referred to the film as "a colorful and magnificently mounted romance"; however, they believed its plot was "somewhat primitive".
