This slim volume came in a box set soundtrack edition of the Miklos Rozsa music on MGM Records ‎released in 1959. On watching the film, this made an accompaniment like a commentary track. The book features professional biographies of all the principals, stats on the sets (8.9 miles of pipes for the Arrius' party) and more production details. This includes the fact that tourists used to visit the impressive site in Italy as it was being built, the amount of hair gathered for wigs and bears, show more and the impressive amount of extras.
