The film bears no relation (except its setting) with Georges Rodenbach's famous novel "Bruges la Morte".
The film's revelation was Suzanne Christy (her first film), an ingénue blonde newcomer, who was to become the most famous of all leading ladies in Belgian silent cinema (and Charles Spaak's wife, in 1928). Her charisma was such that in 1930 Buñuel was to cast her as the female lead in "L'âge d'or".
Last film shot in the Karreveld Studios.
Filmed in 1922 but shelved until 1922.
