Commentaire à la une

Beautifully Directed by Michael Curtiz

Curtiz is a very underrated director who made many outstanding films for Warners. He was stereotyped as a director who made only one good film -- Casablanca. His direction (and Grot's set design and the costumes) really are the stars here. Barrymore is great; Woods shows why he never really became a star; Marsh is OK. Only drawback: very abrupt, ,kind of out-of-nowhere ending

Anecdotes
Michael Curtiz hired Boris Karloff because he mistakenly thought he was Russian.

Gaffes
A title card misspells Montmartre as "Montmarte."

Citations
Nana Carlova: [after Tsarakov has cunningly expelled her from the Ballet Russe] But, where will I go?
Vladimar Ivan Tsarakov: Well, I hate to advise people, my dear, but it seems to me that you have the best chance of success possibly by placing yourself somewhere where only youth and beauty are necessary.

Crédits fous
Opening credits are shown over a background of a figure dancing; a reference to the plot which involves a dancer.
