Note that director Marcel L'Herbier had been a top French director in the late 1910s and early 1920s, but in 1923, he made a lavish adaptation of Tolstoy's Resurrection, and it failed, and then he got typhoid to boot. While he was recuperating, one of his friends, Georgette Leblanc, a famous French singer, offered to co-finance another movie by him, but only if she could significantly rewrite the screenplay, and star in it herself! L'Herbier agreed, and the result was this film, which has a really wild plot (see above)!
