This film is believed lost.
In September 1928, Warner Bros. Pictures purchased a majority interest in First National Pictures and from that point on, all "First National" productions were actually made under Warner Bros. control, even though the two companies continued to retain separate identities until the mid-1930's, after which time "A Warner Bros.-First National Picture" was often used.
The main plot of the film concerns a man blackmailing a married woman to sleep with him, and there is a subplot that Colonel Vultow is willing to cheat on his mistress Sophie (played by Myrna Loy) in order to sleep with the Countess. The film consequently faced censorship in several areas where it was released. In Chicago, it was introduced as an "adults only" feature.
The film included a Technicolor sequence filmed at night, something difficult with the technical limitations of the period. Film historians consider it the first film to successfully include such a night scene.
Most of the film is considered lost. The soundtrack has survived in its entirety, recorded on Vitaphone disks.
