The film stars Gloria Swanson, Lionel Barrymore, and Raoul Walsh, and it is one of Swanson's more successful films. Due to the public's apathy towards silent films, a sound version was prepared in the latter half of 1928. While the sound version has no audible dialog, it features a synchronized musical score with sound effects along with a theme song. ## Credits - **Screenplay:** [Gloria Swanson](https://cinepixo.com/people/gloria-swanson), [Raoul Walsh](https://cinepixo.com/people/raoul-walsh), [C.
