This movie survives today in various edits, the original 135 minute release and 80 minute and 71 minute versions. The short versions usually cut Carmel Myers' scenes.
A couple of years after Barrymore's death, his daughter Diana Barrymore was shown a special screening of this film as she had never seen her father in any of his silent films.
In 1952, the film entered the public domain in the United States due to the failure of Warner Bros. (MGM was about to produce the Stewart Granger version) to renew the copyright registration in the 28th year after production.
