Huntley. Note that this was the first full-length feature filmed in Three-Strip Technicolor! Also note that three weeks after filming began on this movie with Lowell Sherman, he caught pneumonia and died, and Rouben Mamoulian was hired to take over, and he chose to scrap the film shot by Sherman during his three weeks on the job, so it is entirely a Mamoulian directed film, even though Sherman was co-credited (out of respect for his passing).
