In a separately filmed trailer, Vitaphone production reel #3385, Richard Barthelmess appears before the audience and talks about the picture.
In September 1928, Warner Bros. Pictures purchased a majority interestin 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 2-strip Technicolor sequences only survive in black and white and have been given a Sepiatone treatment for the Turner Classic Movies presentation.
