Note that there was both a silent and a sound version of this movie released by Universal in 1929. Also note that this was the first sound movie based on this classic story, but it was "old" even then! The very first adaptation was by Broncho Billy Anderson in 1915's "Broncho Billy and the Baby", followed by another version a year later under the source novel's name, followed by a third version called "Marked Men" in 1919. This movie was remade twice, both times under the source novel's name, in 1936, and in 1948, that time with John Wayne, and it was not directly remade again, although other movies borrowed elements of the plot.
