Joseph Schildkraut was (improbably) cast as a Southern gambler in this film to capitalize on his equally improbable casting as Gaylord Ravenal in the part-talkie version of Show Boat. Actor Otis Harlan, who portrayed Captain Andy in the 1929 "Show Boat", was reunited with Schildkraut for this film.
A print of the silent version of this film survives in the UCLA Film and Television Archives.
The picture portion of the sound version survives in 16mm. The soundtrack discs are evidently lost.
