The film is a feature-length silent production starring Dolores del Río and featuring an appearance by Ilya Tolstoy who co-wrote the script. In 1928, due to the public apathy towards silent films, a sound version was also produced with a newly filmed prologue in which the theme song "Russian Lullaby" was performed and sung. While the actual film had no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using both the sound-on-disc and sound-on-film process. In 1931, Carewe directed an all-talking remake of the film starred by Lupe Vélez. ## Credits - **Screenplay:** [Ilya Tolstoy](https://cinepixo.com/people/ilya-tolstoy), [Edwin Carewe](https://cinepixo.com/people/edwin-carewe) - **Director:** [Edwin Carewe](https://cinepixo.com/people/edwin-carewe) - **Producer:** [Edwin Carewe](https://cinepixo.com/people/edwin-carewe) - **Director of Photography:** [Robert Kurrle](https://cinepixo.com/people/robert-kurrle) ## Cast - [Serge Protzenko](https://cinepixo.com/people/serge-protzenko) - [Ilya Tolstoy](https://cinepixo.com/people/ilya-tolstoy) - [Rod La Rocque](https://cinepixo.com/people/rod-la-rocque) - [Dolores del Río](https://cinepixo.com/people/dolores-del-rio) - [Clarissa Selwynne](https://cinepixo.com/people/clarissa-selwynne) - [Rita Carewe](https://cinepixo.com/people/rita-carewe) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
