An all-star politically incorrect and historically inaccurate epic of a movie as Charlton Heston epic. A motley crew of imperialist running-dogs fend off the siege of the International Compound in Beijing during the 1900 Boxer Rebellion. Dowager Empress Tzu-Hsi (Flora Robson) and her generals tacitly support the Boxers though they must have known they couldn’t beat Charlton Heston. Flora Robson played a wide variety of character parts in a fifty year career in the movies: some of her many looks are displayed in the chameleons section.
Mario Van Riel was credited as makeup artist according to IMDb.
