For the vomiting sequences,
Eileen Dietz
doubled (uncredited) for
Linda Blair
, and later sued unsuccessfully for puking credit. Makeup veteran
Dick Smith
rigged Dietzs facial contours with sheets of heat-formed plexiglass that were secured at the corners of her mouth and behind her head. A camouflaged nozzle anchored in Dietzs oral cavity provided the apparatus through which the "vomit" could be forcefully discharged, fed by supply tubes discreetly embedded in the plexiglass on both sides of her face. Such was the complexity of the set-up that Dietz could barely swallow or close her mouth.

The reason was that the Warners-First National merger had been questioned by the federal government on antitrust grounds, and having the two companies operate at least nominally separately was a federal requirement for allowing the merger (which Warners had done primarily to get their hands on First Nationals theatre chain) to go through.

Francisco I. Madero
in 1913, setting off a civil war. The Mexican town this film was shot in, Parras in Coahuila state, was Maderos birthplace.
