When Yul Brynner was told he would be playing Pharaoh Rameses II opposite Charlton Heston's Moses, and that he would be shirtless for most of the movie, he began a rigorous weightlifting program because he didn't want Heston to physically overshadow him. That explains his buffer-than-normal physique during Il re ed io (1956), which he made just after this film. Heston later said that Brynner gave the best performance in this movie.
