While the film has no audible dialogue, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using both the sound-on-disc and sound-on-film process. The sound was recorded using the Movietone sound system sound-on-film process and then transferred to sound-on-disc format for those theatres who could only play the sound-on-disc format. As of 2024, no prints of the film have survived in archives.^[2]
