Quotes from Captain from Castile
Hernando Cortez:
Gentlemen, this time last year we were fighting mosquitos in swamps, accepting paltry gifts, and half-starving. But now we stand knocking at the very door of the great Emporer Moctezuma. We shall meet with His Majesty face-to-face - have done with ambassadors and specks of gold. This, gentlemen, is just the beginning!

Facts about Captain from Castile
Alfred Newman's "Conquest" theme was adopted by the University of Southern California athletic teams.
When Director of Photography Arthur E. Arling fell behind schedule, Charles G. Clarke was taken off of Miracle on 34th Street and replaced him.
In several of the scenes in Mexico, a large smoke cloud is seen on the horizon. At the end of the movie smoke is shown rising from a volcano. This is most likely a fortuitous eruption of the Paricutin volcano in 1947, when the movie was filmed, standing in for the eruption of Popocatepetl on Cortez's day.
