The name of Guido Celanois often associated with this picture but he does not appear in it, not in the flesh anyway. A picture of him is visible in the background, however, during the train scene.
The film was released as a silent picture in 1929 and re-released in a 'sonorized' version (without dialogue) in March 1931.
A restored version with a live piano accompaniment screened at Telluride Film Festival in September 2010.
Carola Lotti's debut.
