Produced as a Jewel Production in 1927 and widely released in 1930. Universal devised a 3-tiered brand system to market its films to independent theaters (it did not own its own chain, unlike most of the other major studios): Red Feather (low budget), Bluebird (mainstream) and Jewel (prestige pictures capable of commanding higher roadshow ticket prices). This band system ended in 1929 but as this film was produced earlier, it was one of the final releases branded as a Jewel.
Film does exist but current version is missing approx 10 mins.
Included in the extra features of the Criterion Blu-ray edition of Lonesome (1928).
