DeMille wasn’t above putting his stars in harm’s way for the sake of achieving realism. (While filming one of the battle scenes for UNCONQUERED, Paulette Goddard walked off his set when she felt things were getting a little too dangerous. Her decision proved to be a wise one, since the stand-in who replaced her WAS injured.) Arky or someone must have convinced DeMille that, even though Gloria Grahame is supposed to be the head elephant empress, she would be safer styling from a ring curb than being in the middle of the action.
