The film was directed by Marshall Neilan and is based on the novel of the same name written by James Ashmore Creelman, who also wrote the screenplay. It stars Rudy Vallee, in his first feature film, along with Sally Blane, Marie Dressler and Charles Sellon.The film premiered in New York City on November 26, 1929, and was released widely on December 1. A DVD version was released on March 29, 2005.
