According to director Allan Dwan, many of the supporting and background roles were taken by real rough-and-tumble gangsters. A large party sequence was filmed where two rival gangs were hired simultaneously but sworn to keep the peace, which they did until Dwan gave them the signal.
This film is believed lost.
The cast was populated with real gangsters which led to miscommunications - one for example as stated in the book "Behind the Mask of Innocence" by Kevin Brownlow: the cameraman was setting up lighting, the big lights called "broadsides" were covered with cloths called "silks" to mute the lighting, when he decided the lighting wasn't enough he yelled "take the silks off the broads" to which all the gangsters obeyed, stripping the women on the set to almost nothing. Hal Rosson kept filming but the censors did not allow the footage.
Final film of Florence Ashbrooke.
