Trivia

This film is believed lost.

One of four silent films Greta Garbo made in the year 1929. Sound had already overtaken the film industry, but Garbo and Charlie Chaplin were the two primary holdouts in the transition -- Chaplin because he was resisting the shift and Garbo because she was redoubling her efforts to master English, something the native Swede was never pressed to do in the silent era. Garbo made the most silent films -- seven in all -- of any Hollywood star following the advent of sound in 1927. As a testament to MGM's most bankable star, audiences still turned out for her films despite the fact that silents were rendered obsolete virtually overnight. She would not make her talkie debut until one full year later, in the carefully chosen Anna Christie (1930), a prestige film that adroitly cast her as a Swede, thus allowing the studio to hedge its bets on her successful transition to talkies.

The sound discs (containing a musical score and sound effects, but no dialog) to this film exist, and are held at the UCLA Film and Television Archive in Los Angeles (USA).
