Judging by his private diaries, Richard Burton seems to have genuinely thought at first that the film had the potential to be a "blockbuster" on the scale of his recent action hit Dove osano le aquile (1968). He appears only to have read the script after accepting the part "and discovered that almost every scene I do takes place on 'the Patio of Trotsky's house'". His journal records his gradual realization that the limited English of other actors, combined with the static, dialogue-heavy script, would materially harm the film; the set representing Lev Trotskiy's house was stocked with genuine books and 1940s magazines, and Burton's greatest pleasure during filming seems to have been reading these in breaks from shooting.
