The film was made at Isleworth Studios by the independent Criterion Films, of which Fairbanks was a co-owner. The film's sets were designed by Edward Carrick. == Reception ==

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The scenes at the theatre previous to the murder and the trial scene are tedious and longwinded. Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., gives a very pleasant and, at times, forceful performance as a faithful husband in a series of difficult situations and Dolores del Rio is suitably exotic. But their dancing is pitiable. Florence Desmond is hopelessly miscast as Yvette. Direction is throughout pedestrian; production values generally are good." ==References==
