Did You Know?
| Trivia | The first (and only) sound film for former Mack Sennett director F. Richard Jones. His command of sound and action with this film was very well received, and he looked set for a bright future. Sadly, Jones succumbed to the tuberculosis epidemic that was running rampant at the time. He was only 37. See more » |
| Goofs | The players in the opening credits are set out in the form of a theatre programme. However, notwithstanding the film takes place in England, the spelling on the programme is the American 'program'. However, while the film is portrayed as taking place in England, it was produced in the U.S.; thus, the Americanized spelling of "program" in the credits is not inconsistent. See more » |
