Production
This was the final film directed by Stiller; he returned to Sweden in November 1927[2] and died from pleurisy in 1928. The film was completed by Ludwig Berger. Although initially scheduled for release in early 1928, it was delayed to allow the reshooting of some scenes at the finish of the film.[3]
