The movie stars Pauline Frederick in her debut film role,[1] The production is based upon the 1901 novel and 1902 Broadway play of the same name by Hall Caine that starred Viola Allen and Frederic De Belleville.[2] Much of The Eternal City was shot on location in England and Italy before being interrupted by the start of the Great War.
