One of the earliest of over 700 Paramount Productions, filmed between 1929 and 1949, which were sold to MCA/Universal in 1958 for television distribution, and have been owned and controlled by Universal ever since. However, because of legal complications, this particular title was not included in the original television package and may not have ever been televised.
This film is believed lost.
Some photos still exist showing Jeanne Eagels with British actor Anthony Bushell, who originally co-starred in the role of Pierre. Bushell's voice did not register well due to the early sound technology, and he was consequently replaced by Fredric March.
