Did You Know?
| Trivia | This was the last film in which Charles Chaplin co-starred with Edna Purviance. Chaplin would direct and have a cameo in her next film, A Woman of Paris: A Drama of Fate (1923) and produce her lost film, A Woman of the Sea (1926), and she would have cameos in his later films Monsieur Verdoux (1947) and Limelight (1952), but this was their last major acting work together.
