The film was produced and distributed by Metro Pictures corporation and directed by Irvin Willat. The cast also features Malcolm McGregor, Billie Dove and Robert McKim. The screenplay was written by Julien Josephson, based on the eponymous novel by Ben Ames Williams. The film was also known as Cold Courage.All the Brothers Were Valiant was remade by MGM as Across to Singapore in 1928 with Ernest Torrance playing Chaney's role, and in 1953 again as All the Brothers Were Valiant with Stewart Granger in the Chaney role. A still exists on the internet showing Chaney as Mark Shore, and another showing the mutiny scene. Chaney disliked his co-stars on this film, calling Malcolm McGregor a "dumb bell" and saying of Billie Dove "she's all beauty and no brains".Portions of it were shot on location in San Francisco. Two real whaling ships were used in the making of the film, the 65-foot Port Saunders and the 165-foot Carolyn Frances. The film is now considered lost, destroyed in the 1965 MGM vault fire.
