Facts about

This was MGM's first sound picture, and premiered in Hollywood at Sid Grauman's Chinese Theater on Friday, 3 Aug 1928.

Though the film's credits claim it was shot on location in the Marquesas Islands with 'authentic' islanders, it was actually shot 900 miles away in Tahiti.

Because there were no sound facilities in Hollywood, Douglas Shearer took the completed silent film to New Jersey, where he added a synchronized music score and sound effects.
