Joan of Arc was left-handed.
Despite Jeanne d'Arc being 19 years old, Leelee Sobieski was only 16 years of age when filming this made-for-television production.
Leelee Sobieski and Maximilian Schell appeared together in Deep Impact (1998) though they are never seen on screen together.
Shirley MacLaine and Olympia Dukakis had previously costarred in "Steel Magnolias" (1989).
Only 6 months later would another production based on the life of Joan of Arc be released, that being The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc (1999) starring Milla Jovovich and directed by Luc Besson.
