The Trojan Horse scenario in the film is a bit different from the Homeric version of the story. The entire brain trust of the Greek army is shown in the Horse, which in Homer's Odyssey was inhabited only by a bunch of sappers supervised by Odysseus, whose mission was to open the gates so a much larger Greek army could enter. (Publius Vergilius Maro's first century B.C. retelling in the Aeneid, put the high commanders in the horse.) Oedipus is present, even though in the original stories he had died before the Trojan War ever began. Agamemnon's father was the wholly-human king Atreus, not the Minotaur beast. Agamemnon was already married, long before the Trojan War, but Ms. Grunion would not have been the only "prize" he brought home.

As a result of legal complications involving the original version, Ceiling Zero (1936), which reared their ugly heads some time in the 1990s, this title has never been shown on cable TV, and that includes Turner Classic Movies, although it's in their library, nor has there ever been a VHS or DVD release. These are the only James Cagney and Ronald Reagan titles to remain legally unavailable for public viewing at this time. Before sinking into this legal quagmire, its earliest documented telecast took place in Tucson Tuesday 18 September 1956 on KDWI (Channel 9); it first aired in Boston Saturday 27 October 1956 on WBZ (Channel 4), in Indianapolis Friday 21 December 1956 on WISH (Channel and in Bloomington IN Friday 18 January 1957 on WTTV (Channel 4).
