The studio began production shortly after Francis X. Bushman and Beverly Bayne were married. The couple had made several films together at their previous studio, but their ongoing personal relationship was kept secret from the public. When it became public knowledge that Bayne and Bushman had both previously married and that their marriage was the product of divorce, there was a concerted effort by moral crusaders to get their films banned. This film's attempt to capitalize on their recent nuptials was actually quite risky.
This film went into production before the Armistice, to capitalize on the recent marriage of Francis X. Bushman and Beverly Bayne. When it was finally released, it did poorly at the box office, as American audiences were not interested in films about the recently-ended First World War.
