The film was based on the stage play Eyes of Youth, performed on Broadway in 1917-18 and starred Marjorie Rambeau. This film also features Rudolph Valentino in a role as a thief/con artist.[1][2]

This film is often credited as the vehicle that led Valentino to be cast in The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse (1921).[3][4]
