Production
In her 13th film, Marion Davies re-teamed with Forrest Stanley for this romantic comedy/drama. Location shooting was again at Point Lobos on the Monterey Peninsula. The centerpiece of the film is the stunning "tableaux vivants" in which Davies recreates her dancing doll routine from the 1916 edition of the "Ziegfeld Follies." The pageant was once again designed by Joseph Urban. The pageant scenes were originally tinted.[1]

A DVD was released by Edward Lorusso with a music score by Ben Model in December 2016.
