Following the release of Até o Céu Tem Limites (1949), Paramount Pictures declined to create new distribution prints for Tudo Pelo Dinheiro (1926) to deter theaters from playing the silent version instead of the 1949 version. According to RKO Pictures screenwriter DeWitt Bodeen, he viewed the badly damaged master print of the 1926 film at Paramount Pictures' studio library in 1947, shortly before pre-production began on the remake. He described the master as in such bad condition that it "kept breaking" during viewing, foreshadowing its eventual loss.
Contrary to popular belief, Warner Baxter was not the first actor to portray Jay Gatsby. The first individual to play the role of Gatsby was 37-year-old James Rennie in the earlier Broadway production of "The Great Gatsby" by Owen Davis, based on the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The play opened at the Ambassador Theater on February 2, 1926. The play ran for 112 performances and was directed by future movie director George Cukor.
F. Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda Fitzgerald walked out of the theater while viewing the film in 1926. "We saw The Great Gatsby at the movies," Zelda wrote in a letter. "It's ROTTEN and awful and terrible, and we left." Years later, in his 1931 essay "Echoes of the Jazz Age", Fitzgerald cited Flaming Youth (1923) as among the few films capturing the sexual revolution of the Jazz Age. He conspicuously omitted any reference to this film and The Beautiful and Damned (1922).
