Added DiffLines:
** Charlton Heston was interested in returning as Cardinal Richelieu for the third film although the character had died between the novels. As a concession the film features a portrait of Heston as Richelieu which was gifted to Heston after the filming wrapped.

* ExecutiveMeddling: What was supposed to be a four-hour long epic became [[MovieMultipack split into two films]] because the producers didn't think that people would want to see a film that long. Since the actors were only paid the rate for one film, most of them sued and won. (This also directly affected ''Film/{{Superman}}'' and ''Film/SupermanII'' from the same producers, as they were also originally shot as one long production, though still separate films. Richard Lester replaced Creator/RichardDonner for ''Superman II''.)
