The massive, life-sized set of the Great Wall of Babylon, seen in the fourth story, was placed at the corner of Sunset Blvd. and Hollywood Blvd. (in Hollywood, CA) when the movie was completed. It became a notable landmark for many years during Hollywood's golden era. It actually stood on the lot of the studio on Prospect Ave. near the Sunset/Hollywood junctions in the eastern end of the city. It was the first such exterior set ever built in Hollywood. Falling into disrepair, it eventually was torn down. Years later, this same Babylon set was replicated as the central courtyard design for the new Hollywood & Highland complex in Hollywood, which opened in 2001. It was demolished for new construction in 2021.
