Anecdotes
This is the only film of Anna May Wong's career where she was allowed to kiss a Caucasian man on-screen. She had filmed one for 1929's Piccadilly, but it was deleted from the final cut. The kiss was allowed here because the characters were already established as husband and wife. As a result, it was one of Anna May Wong's personal favorites.

Gaffes
At the end of the film, the Union Flag is shown in the reversed, or inverted orientation.

"Any News of the Nautilus?"

Anna Mae Wong gets one of the final roles worthy of her in this adaptation of Joseph Hergesheimer's novel which manages to sail the high seas without ever leaving Ealing and constitutes the fifth and final of five films she made in Britain.

Although Miss Mae Wong as "a heathen Chinese" married to an Englishman introduced to a horrified Nineteenth century Britain doesn't even appear until nearly halfway through the film she gets top billing, making an unlikely team with English rose Elizabeth Allan, their names appear before Edmond Gwenn and John Loder who come in at third and fourth with Ralph Richardson coming up at the rear at fifth in the cast list.
