The lavish production enlisted the efforts of 23,000 persons. Twenty-six costume designers worked four months to create the costumes, and 540 people were employed as tailors and dressmakers. Crews constructed seventy-two buildings to make up six blocks of city dwellings in the imaginary kingdom of Ruritania. During the two weeks of filming the coronation sequence, producer-director Rex Ingram never left the lot, and required that the 10,000 background actors be housed on site as well, where army cots were provided in the constructed dwellings, and 432 cooks were employed to serve cast and crew using army methods. During the huge crowd scenes, Ingram utilized the newly invented radiophone to communicate with his assistant directors. Ingram noted it was superior to the use of a telephone with wires. Film Year Book 1922-1923 called The Prisoner of Zenda one of The Ten Best pictures of 1922.". Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 6198
